Description

The castle of Montesquiu first appears in documents dating back to 1285, when it was a part of a defensive triangle that included the medieval castles of Besora and Saderra.

According to Barcelona's park system, Montesquiu moved up in the castle world in the 14th century, when the regional ruler moved from Besora to Montesquiu.

Over the next few centuries, the castle underwent several structural changes. Its owners expanded the living space. They also added a small chapel dedictated to Saint Barbara.

The Barcelona Provincial Council acquired the castle in 1976. These days, the castle stands as the centerpiece of the park that bears its name.
