Torre-roja de Viladecans, Medieval castle in Viladecans, Spain.

The Torre-roja stands as a square-shaped tower with four floors, constructed using distinctive red stones from the Eramprunyà territory.

Built in the 13th century, this fortress served as a control point for the Quadra Burguesa region under the jurisdiction of Eramprunyà Castle.

The tower represents a crucial part of Catalan defensive architecture, with its stone-vaulted ceilings and semicircular arched entrance featuring carved stone voussoirs.

The ground floor currently houses the Catalan Employment Service office, while upper levels contain municipal planning and development departments.

The lateral annexes, added in the early 19th century by architect Francisco de Paula Nebot, transformed the original medieval structure into its current configuration.
