Castle of Gebut Monument · Soses, Segrià, Lleida Image of Soses, not of the place itself. Gebut castle, in the municipal district of Soses (Segrià), is a site declared bien cultural de interés nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection) of which little remains today, atop a hill some 300 metres high, halfway between Soses and Aitona. What survive are the walls of an Andalusi fortification, trapezoidal in plan, with towers at the corners and on the long sides, built of large unworked sandstone ashlars; around it, remains of dwellings, a possible mosque and a necropolis have been excavated. The site brings together remains from different periods, from the Final Bronze Age to an Iberian settlement of the 6th-3rd centuries BC, and it was one of the Islamic castles of the taifa of Lleida in the 11th century; after the Christian conquest it passed through the hands of the Cervera family, the Montcada family and, in 1304, the Temple.
