A castle declared a bien cultural de interès nacional (a cultural property of national interest), located in the municipal district of Palamós, near the town of Vall-llobrega, in the area of Vila-romà. 000 sous to the heirs of Pere Alemany, and in 1279 King Peter II acquired from the bishop the territory of Palamós that depended on this parish. Two inventories of the castle survive, from 1320 and 1411, describing a hall, three chambers, a cellar, a pantry, two kitchens, a porch and a stable. In 1371 Peter III the Ceremonious incorporated it into the Crown of Aragon. The fortress had a short life: in 1812, during the French occupation, it was blown up, and since then its walls have been gradually collapsing.
