Castelldefels Castle, Medieval fortress in Castelldefels, Spain.

The stone castle stands on a 60-meter hill, featuring defensive walls, towers, and a church that oversees the Mediterranean coastline and Llobregat delta.

Built upon an ancient Iberian settlement and Roman villa, the fortress underwent multiple expansions between the 10th and 18th centuries before banker Manuel Girona restored it.

The castle incorporates Romanesque and historicist architectural elements, with the Santa Maria Church displaying three-aisled pillars and a semicircular oratory.

The castle opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 19:00, offering guided tours, educational programs, and space rentals for events.

Visitors experience the interactive Piratia exhibition, which presents the history of Mediterranean piracy through audiovisual and theatrical elements.
