Castell de Marmellar, Medieval castle in El Montmell, Spain.
The castle stands on a rocky hill at 413 meters elevation, with its trapezoidal layout and remaining fortified walls featuring battlements and arrow slits.
Built in the 11th century as a strategic fortress to defend the Penedès region roads, the castle first appeared in documents from 1023 through a transaction.
The Romanesque architecture of the castle and its adjacent chapel of Sant Miquel reflects the medieval building techniques and defense requirements of Catalonia.
Visitors can reach the castle from Sant Martí Sarroca by following signs to Torrelles de Foix, then taking a narrow road to Castell de Marmellar urbanization.
The castle occupies an unusual position in a valley rather than a hilltop, contrary to most medieval fortifications in the region.
