Castle of Cervià de Ter

Monument · Cervià de Ter, Gironès, Girona

Old castle in the municipality of Cervià de Ter, from whose surroundings a panoramic view of the Ter valley and les Gavarres is obtained. Its oldest materials date from the 9th-10th centuries, with a major renovation already in the 13th and another transformation at the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century. The estate was bought in 989 by Sunyer Llobet and his wife, and later passed through the Cervià, Llers and Xatmar families, until in 1788 the latter married into the Fonsdevielas family, marquises de la Torre, owners until in 2013 the land passed into municipal ownership. Today, partially exposed and quite deteriorated, a circular watchtower 6.5 metres in diameter is preserved, together with wall remains spread over three terraced levels.
