Castell de Sant Miquel
Castell de Sant Miquel, Medieval castle and semaphore tower in Gironès, Spain
The ruins of Sant Miquel Castle stand at 385 meters elevation, featuring remnants of walls, a watchtower, and a Gothic chapel on a hilltop near Girona.
Originally constructed during medieval times, the fortress underwent transformation in 1848 when the chapel ruins were modified to incorporate two optical telegraph towers for regional communication.
The castle forms part of the Cultural Heritage of Catalonia, marking its role in preserving the architectural and historical legacy of the Gironès region.
Visitors can access the castle through a 9.35-kilometer circular hiking trail that starts from Plaza de Sant Pere de Galligants in Girona.
From its position atop Puig de Sant Miquel, the castle provides views spanning across Girona city, the Empordà plain, and the valleys of Gavarres mountains.
