Castle of Talarn

Monument · Talarn, Pallars Jussà, Lleida

Castle documented since 1055-1056, with an 11th-century tower 2.7 m in diameter and 6 m high and fortifications added in the 13th-14th centuries, joined to a walled town that preserves its medieval layout with original streets and alleys, among them the Torre de la Presó and the Plaça del Castillo, a former parade ground. From 1455 it was the capital of the sotsvegueria (sub-viguery) of Pallars Jussà until it lost administrative prominence to Tremp in 1834.
