Castle of Rocamur

Monument · Sant Llorenç Savall, Vallès Occidental, Barcelona

The Castell de Rocamur stood on the hill of the same name, between the Marquet de les Roques and the Vall de Mur, in the district of Sant Llorenç Savall, Vallès Occidental. Built in Romanesque style between the 11th and 12th centuries, it depended on the Counts of Barcelona: in 1157 Arbert de Sa Pera swore fealty to Count Ramon Berenguer IV for this stronghold, and in 1162 he bequeathed it, together with other possessions, to Guillem de Terrassa. There is no further record of the castle after that date, and it seems its territory ended up incorporated into that of the Castell de Pera. Today only scant wall remains survive at the foot of the crag. It has been declared a cultural asset of national interest since 1988.
