Castle of Guanta

Monument · Sentmenat, Vallès Occidental, Barcelona

Image of Sentmenat, not of the place itself.

The castle of Guanta, declared a cultural asset of national interest, stands in ruins in the district of Sentmenat, in the Vallès Occidental. It is documented from 1113, in a document issued by the Montcada family. Today it is practically impossible to determine its original extent: only two parallel walls survive, oriented east to west and about four metres apart, with remains of a transverse wall that once joined them. The masonry, of irregular stones bonded with lime mortar, is laid in rather irregular courses.
