Castell de Cartellà

The fortress demonstrates a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, with a trapezoidal central body organized around an internal courtyard.

The first specific reference to Cartella Castle dates from 1238, when Galceran de Cartella established a priest at the Santa Maria chapel within its walls.

The structure maintains its designation as a Cultural Asset of National Interest, representing centuries of architectural development in medieval Spanish fortifications.

Access to the castle grounds requires passing through a portal beneath the master tower, which connects to the fortress through an extension of the northern wall.

The castle walls reveal irregular construction patterns, including fragments of opus spicatum visible only on the eastern wall where the main entrance stands.
