Castell de Sant Jordi d'Alfama
Castell de Sant Jordi d'Alfama, Medieval fortress in L'Ametlla de Mar, Spain.
The stone castle stands on a strategic position along the Mediterranean coast, featuring a trapezoidal layout that adapts to the terrain's natural contours.
Built in 1201 under King Peter II of Aragon, the castle served as headquarters for the Military Order of Saint George of Alfama until 1400.
The fortress represents vernacular architecture techniques through its construction methods and materials, earning recognition as a Cultural Asset of National Interest.
Visitors need sturdy walking shoes to explore the remaining walls and foundation structures, which outline the original defensive complex layout.
The current castle structure, rebuilt between 1732 and 1733, incorporates stones from the original medieval fortress that was destroyed in 1650.
