Castell de Palafolls

To the north of the Maresme region and at a height of about 200 metres we find the castle of Palafolls. It is a castle with walls of discontinuous arrogance, which dates back to the thirteenth century and is of special importance in the Catalan context.

The castle has a rather complex elongated floor plan, divided between the top and the extension. There is a large hall, a covered cistern with a barrel vault and the chapel, which has been modernly restored. The oldest remains have been found in the north, in the extended enclosure. We find a series of areas arranged as a corner around an open space.

Palafolls Castle stands in a magnificent position, located between the towns of Blanes, Malgrat and Tordera, at the foot of the river and on an isolated ridge.It can be visited free and guided tours must be arranged on 937 62 00 43.
