Located on the top of one of the mountains of the Natural Park of the Desert de les Palmes, Montornés Castle was a 10th century ancient defensive system of Arab origin, built over Roman remains, although it was the Christians who reinforced and extended it after the reconquest.
It has a traditional scheme of strength with three enclosures limited by walls. It forms a triangular figure with the tower San Vicente and with the little house of Salandó, which probably had the function of reinforcing its defence. Some wall canvases, ceramic altarpieces and two watchtowers are all that remain from these constructions.
According to a legend, the castle was conquered by means of deceits by the Cid Campeador, belonging later to the knight Ximén Perez d'Arenós and to the monastery of Poblet.
From this location we have a beautiful view of the Plana (Plain) of Castellón and the Mediterranean Sea.

The first written records of this structure date from the 11th century. The castle contains both defensive and residential elements, including a prison, watchtowers and a Romanesque church, which, with its three naves, barrel-vault ceiling and straight chavet, is one of the purest and earliest examples of Romanesque architecture within the Tarragona municipal boundaries. From 1681 until the turn of the 20th century, when it was bought and restored by a private American collector, the castle belonged to the Archbishop of Tarragona and the Marquises of Tamarit. In the 19th century, the fishermen’s village that once surrounded the castle was decimated by malarial fevers spread from the nearby marshlands. Tarragona city limits were extended to include the compound in 1950.

Guided Tours
The exhibition “Un castillo, un camino” (one castle, one way) in the museum of the History Building reveals that the Castellet Castle has always been linked to guarding transport routes, going as far back as Iberian times, 2,500 years ago. This exhibition shows the findings from the archaeological excavations at the Castle. Guided tours combine explanations from guides and audiovisual projections.
In the room dedicated to Pre-history and Archaeology, you will find an exhibition about El Mèdol Roman quarry. The quarry forms part of the archaeological ensemble at Tarragona, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located 10 kilometres from the ancient capital of the Roman region Hispania Citerior, adjacent to today’s AP-7 motorway. Ashlar extracted from this quarry and used in Tarragona’s main monuments can still be admired today.
The guided tours take place on the second weekend of each month, on Saturday and Sunday, from 10 am to 2 pm. To make the most of your visit, which will last around 45 minutes, groups of about 15 people. The tour is free.

Penyafort Castle is one of the gateways to the natural park of Foix. A walk through its vegetable garden is a discovery for the senses, giving you a detailed look at the vegetables and herbs that are grown in the area. You can also take a tour of the grounds where the monks of the convent used to keep a vegetable garden in the olden days.
In addition to the vegetable garden, a guide can take you around the different areas of the castle, which make up the 10th century estate. As the area under Muslim rule was shrinking, small castles started being built; this was also the case with Penyafort—the birthplace, circa 1185, of a man who in time would become known as St. Raymond of Penyafort.
In 1601, in the year of St. Raymond's canonization, a small Dominican convent started expanding its facilities. During the Spanish confiscation of 1836, the convent passed into the hands of the Puig i Llagostera family, who essentially gave it its present form.
During the Civil War, the church and cloister were set up to be used as a prison.
At the end of your visit, you can enjoy a meal in lovely surroundings and in the midst of nature.
