Castellolí
Village
Castellolí is a municipality of l'Anoia, with 669 inhabitants (INE 2025), situated at the foot of the sierra of the same name. The term has been documented since the year 961 and its castle since 1003, attacked by the Saracens; known as Castell d'Aulí, it was destroyed in 1004 by Abd al-Malik al-Muzaffar, and later belonged to the Bell-lloc, Jorba and finally Cardona families, the latter owning it until the 19th century. Of the fortress, on a hill near Cal Jaume Bruguers, scattered remains survive next to the ruins of a Romanesque church of Sant Vicenç, from the 11th century. The term also preserves more than 150 dry-stone huts from the 18th-19th centuries. In 2009 the Parcmotor Castellolí circuit was inaugurated here, with a driving school and supermotard, karting and motocross tracks.
Castle of Castellolí
Monument
A ruined castle located beside the road that linked Igualada and the Òdena basin with Barcelona, at a strategic point for defending the left bank of the Llobregat. Documented from July 990 as “castrum Audelino” in a donation, it appears again in the sacramental will of December 1003 of Audesindo, who died defending it from a Saracen siege; Pope Sylvester II confirmed its ownership by the monastery of Sant Cugat. In 1268 James I ordered it handed over to the castellan of Montblanc, and in 1375 it was incorporated into the county of Cardona, playing a strategic role in the Reapers' War (1640-1652). Of the enclosure there survive fragments of wall, a large cistern and two vaulted rooms, along with the apse of what was once the Romanesque church of Sant Feliu, a parish church until 1705.
