Castle of la Miana

Monument · Sant Ferriol, Garrotxa, Girona

La Miana castle is a building in Sant Ferriol (Garrotxa), near the church of Sant Miquel, of which today only a heap of stones remains among the vegetation. Its core is a two-storey tower covered by a vault, dated to around the 11th century, together with a walled perimeter, later extended and remodelled. It is documented from 1268, and already between 1175 and 1206 members of the la Miana lineage are mentioned in deeds of sale and donation; it had its own chapel from 1228. The last records date from the second half of the 15th century, after the Remença wars, when it was probably abandoned. Between 2006 and 2008 an archaeological project documented and consolidated its interior spaces. It is Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (BCIN 1456-MH; Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection).
