Image of Sant Pere de Torelló, not of the place itself.

Of the castle of Curull, originating in the eleventh century and declared a cultural asset of national interest, scant ruins remain on the summit of the serra de Curull, in the spot called Puig de les Àligues, in the municipality of Sant Pere de Torelló; in the early twentieth century remains of what may have been a tower and some steps could still be made out, today very worn down and covered by vegetation. It appears documented for the first time in 1020-1021, in the will of the count of Besalú, Bernat Tallaferro, and it was enfeoffed by the counts of Barcelona to the Besora family and later to the Montcada family. In the early fourteenth century it passed to the Milany family, who sold it in 1373 to Roger de Malla, and in 1563 its assets passed to the Cartellà family.
