Castle of Claverol

Monument · Conca de Dalt, Pallars Jussà, Lleida

Castle documented since 973, under counts Ramon IV and V and later Artau I and II of Pallars Sobirà (1094); in the 14th century it passed to the Toralla family and in 1742 to the lawyer Fèlix de Motes, whose family -including the Carlist leader Ermengol de Motes- held it until the 19th century, when it passed by marriage to the Maluquer family. Only a circular tower about 7 m high survives, partially destroyed and under restoration after having served as the village's water tank. A Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's top heritage-protection category).
