Castle of Corregó

Monument · la Portella, Segrià, Lleida

Image of la Portella, not of the place itself.

Corregó castle, in the municipal district of la Portella (Segrià), was a former fortified farmhouse of which today only a small chapel remains standing, incorporated into the large farmhouse known as Casa de Corregó, declared bien cultural de interés nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection). The farmhouse, rectangular in plan with a central courtyard, retains remains of medieval walls despite numerous refurbishments. In 1393 the castle belonged to Guillem Ramon de Montcada, baron of Aitona; in 1412 it passed to Joan Serrat, canon-sacristan of the see of Lleida, and held out during the war against John II without falling until the surrender of Lleida. In 1489 it passed to Caterina de Vilanova, a nun of Alguaire, remaining tied to that commandery until the abolition of the lordships.
