Castell de Ribelles, Medieval castle in Vilanova de l'Aguda, Spain
The castle complex sits atop a strategic hill with a square tower measuring 515 centimeters in width and walls reaching 175 centimeters thick at the base.
Initial documentation of Castell de Ribelles appears between 1042 and 1075 during territorial disputes between the castles of Guissona and Ribelles.
The castle forms a cohesive ensemble with Santa Maria de Ribelles church and the cemetery, which contains the pantheon of local barons.
The fortress stands at 539 meters above sea level and connects to Barcelona via a 126-kilometer route that takes approximately 93 minutes by car.
The structure evolved from a medieval fortress to a neo-gothic palace during the early 19th century under the ownership of the Bofarull family.
