Castell-convent de Penyafort
Castell-convent de Penyafort, Medieval castle and convent in Santa Margarida i els Monjos, Spain.
The architectural complex features a circular defense tower, a single-nave church with lateral chapels, and two rectangular wings forming a U-shape structure.
The original tower dates from the 12th century, while the Dominican convent was established in 1602 and expanded throughout the 18th century.
The castle marks the birthplace of Saint Raymond of Penyafort, a notable 13th-century Dominican friar who compiled essential canon law texts.
The castle opens its doors for public visits every second Sunday of the month, allowing visitors to explore its medieval and baroque architecture.
The interior of the medieval tower contains preserved mural paintings and a Gothic ribbed vault displaying the Espuny family coat of arms.
