Castle of Santa Engràcia

Monument · Tremp, Pallars Jussà, Lleida

11th-century castle of vernacular construction, with a modest masonry circular tower that today preserves only its lower part, half a meter in interior diameter and up to 3 m high, along with traces of an adjoining residential building. Around 1057 it was part of the dowry of six castles that Count Artau I of Pallars Sobirà gave to his wife Llúcia, and it later passed to the counts of Barcelona; recovered in 1484 by the marquis of Pallars after taking it from Hug Roger III, it remained under the dukes of Cardona until the end of the seigneurial regime.
