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.
