Castle of Sant Gervàs

Monument · Gavet de la Conca, Pallars Jussà, Lleida

10th-century castle with 12th- and 14th-century expansions, triangular in plan with a cylindrical keep about 15 m high and three semicircular bastions at the corners, next to a 12th-century single-nave church. An assault by the troops of the count of Foix in the 14th century led to its final abandonment. A conservation project by the Consell Comarcal del Pallars has restored the main tower since 2007. A Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's top heritage-protection category).
