Ridge of the Towers

Monument · Martorell, Baix Llobregat, Barcelona

Also called the Torre Grimenella, it is a rectangular watchtower from the late Middle Ages, perhaps from the second half of the 13th century, on the Serra de les Torretes; Martorell is documented since 1033, and the barony was held by the Montcada family between 1228 and 1309, until King Martin the Humane incorporated it into the crown in 1396.
