Castell de Pals, Medieval castle in Pals, Spain.

The Torre de las Horas, a circular tower reaching fifteen meters in height, stands as the main remnant of the original fortress structure.

Documentation from 889 mentions the castle in a decree by Carolingian King Odo, where it appears under the name Castle of Mont Aspre.

The castle received national recognition as a Cultural Asset of National Interest in 1988, marking its importance in Spanish architectural heritage.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds through a designated walking route that includes information panels explaining the historical significance of different sections.

The castle's stones were repurposed in the 15th century to rebuild the Church of Sant Pere and local walls following damage during the Catalan Civil War.
