Castell de Santa Florentina, Medieval castle in Canet de Mar, Spain
Castell de Santa Florentina is a castle in Canet de Mar built on Roman foundations and featuring Gothic elements, defined by stone walls, defensive towers, and decorative gargoyles. These gargoyles were skillfully crafted by sculptor Carles Flotats i Galtés.
The castle was built in the 11th century by Guadimir de Canet and underwent extensive renovation in 1910 by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. This modernization blended the original medieval structure with contemporary design.
The castle holds a collection of early 20th-century Catalan artworks and hosts classical music festivals during summer. These cultural uses keep it an active gathering place for the arts in the region.
Visitors can arrange guided tours to explore the castle grounds and interior rooms while learning about its architectural development over different periods. Check in advance about opening times and access conditions.
The castle served as a filming location for the sixth season of Game of Thrones, portraying Horn Hill in the series. This television connection makes it a special draw for fans of the show.
