Castle of Mur

The Castle of Mur stands on a hilltop at 876 meters above sea level, featuring walls that extend from 14 to 18 meters in height.

Built in 969, the castle belonged to Arnau Mir de Tost until 1055 when it transferred to Ramon V de Pallars Jussà through his marriage to Valença de Tost.

The castle represents First Romanesque military architecture with its regular stone bond construction, circular master tower, and triangular perimeter walls measuring 31 meters long.

The entrance fee to visit the Castle of Mur costs 5.25 euros for adults and 3.25 euros for children between 8 and 16 years old.
