Castell dels Montcada, Medieval castle in Vic, Spain
The Romanesque castle features stone walls, robust towers, and distinctive arches that define the architectural elements of its fortified structure.
The fortress played a central role during the siege of 1235 when King James I of Aragon attacked the defensive stronghold with his troops.
The castle maintains recognition as a Cultural Asset of National Interest and Property of Cultural Interest under Spanish heritage protection laws.
The medieval structure stands in the Ravalet district, which served as the primary entrance to the urban center of Vic.
Ancient documents describe the defensive system as containing one of the region's largest towers, surrounded by a compact walled enclosure for civilian protection.
