Castell de Montjuïc, Baroque castle in Girona, Spain.
The castle features a square layout with four bastions connected by walls measuring approximately 150 meters in length at an elevation of 219 meters.
Felipe IV ordered the construction of this defensive structure in 1653 to protect the northern access to Girona's plain, completing the fortress in 1675.
The structure earned recognition as a Cultural Asset of National Interest, representing a prime example of 17th-century military architecture in Catalonia.
Visitors can access the castle through multiple entry points around its perimeter, with parking available along the surrounding streets near Ronda del Fort Roig.
During the Peninsular War, Marshal Louis Gabriel Suchet commanded the construction of Suchet Tower in 1812 before ordering the castle's deactivation in 1814.
