Castle of la Granadella

Monument · la Granadella, Garrigues, Lleida

13th-century Romanesque castle documented since 1181, when Guillem III de Cervera ceded it to Pere Mascarell; the Moliner family dominated it for centuries until in 1359 Pere IV Moliner bought full jurisdiction from the king for 14,000 Barcelona solidi, and in the 17th century it passed to the Gomar family until the abolition of the lordships. The construction of water tanks destroyed much of the building; only remains survive on its west side, with elements cut into the rock from the modern era.
