Castell de Boixadors, Medieval fortress in Salavinera, Spain.

The castle stands at 847 meters above sea level on a hill, controlling access routes to the Calaf plateau and eastern boundaries of Bages.

Built in 1100, the fortress remained under Boixadors family control until 1425 when Ramon Berenguer died without descendants, transferring ownership to Foixa family.

The structure exhibits both Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, with a prominent tower and the adjacent Church of Saint Peter forming a medieval complex.

The castle can be reached through a 6.6-kilometer hiking trail starting near Masia del Seguers, with a gradual elevation gain of 215 meters.

The fortress rises above three regional boundaries where Bages, Solsones, and Segarra meet, creating a strategic viewpoint over multiple territories.
