Castell de Rocafort, Medieval castle in Martorell, Spain
The stone fortification stands on a hill at 193 meters elevation, between Serra de les Torretes and Serra d'Ataix near the Llobregat River.
Built during the 9th century as part of the Hispanic March defensive network, the castle protected Barcelona County from Muslim incursions along the Llobregat River.
The castle includes the remains of Sant Genis chapel, which served as a religious center for the surrounding medieval community during the 11th century.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following a 20-minute walking path from the parking area located at the end of Carrer de la Muntanya.
The fortress maintained visual communication with other defensive structures across the Llobregat valley, forming an interconnected medieval surveillance system.
