Castle of Torrent

Monument · Torrent, Baix Empordà, Girona

The medieval castle of Torrent, of the 14th-15th centuries and of which only remains survive today on the municipality's Plaça Major, gave its name to the marquisate of Castell de Torrent, a title created by Charles III on 25 March 1770 in favour of Felipe de Cruïlles de Peratallada-Rajadell i de Peguera, baron of Cruïlles and lord of Torrent. The title, granted as the marquisate of Castillo de Torrente, changed to its present Catalan name by authorisation of Juan Carlos I in 1994.
