Castle of Blancafort

Monument · Cercs, Berguedà, Barcelona

A castle first documented in 1166, when King Alfonso I granted it to Pere de Berga; it passed to the crown in 1309, was sold in 1363 for 4,000 sueldos to Pere Fresc, and in 1463 was occupied by the royal captain Guillem de Vila-Setrú during the Catalan civil war. It was already in ruins by 1905, although it received a restoration in 1965.
