Castle of Montclar

Monument · Montclar, Berguedà, Barcelona

No visible remains survive of the termenat castle of Montclar, documented in 1309. It stood in the highest part of the village, in the Berguedà comarca, probably on the same site now occupied by the 17th-century house popularly known as El Castell, on the plaça del Poble. The place of Montclar is first mentioned in documents of 1117, and in 1240 King James I of Aragon granted it to Pere de Breda, who held it until it reverted to the Crown in 1309.
