Castell d'Altafulla

The castle features a polygonal layout with protruding corner towers crowned by battlements and includes an interior courtyard with a Renaissance gallery.

First documented in 1060, the castle served as a territorial boundary marker during the donation of land by the Counts of Barcelona to Bernat Amat.

The structure represents the architectural evolution from medieval fortification to Renaissance palace, reflecting changes in Spanish noble residences through centuries.

Located at Plaza de la Iglesia 8, the castle opens for guided tours on first Tuesdays and last Saturdays monthly, except during July, August, and Easter.

The castle contains the Pati dels Tarongers, a special courtyard space that connects to the Renaissance gallery and military architectural elements.
