Castle of Calonge de Segarra

Monument · Calonge de Segarra, Anoia, Barcelona

Ruins of the termenat castle of Calonge de Segarra, in the north of l'Anoia, documented since 1010, the year in which Bishop Arnulf of Vic died there from wounds suffered during an expedition into Muslim Córdoba. Linked for centuries to the viscounts of Cardona, it became part of the county of Cardona in 1375. Of the fortress there survive a circular 11th-century tower, a room measuring 8 by 4 metres covered by a barrel vault, remains of a cistern, and defensive walls with arrow loops. It is protected as a Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection), with code BCIN 591-MH.
