Castle of Madrona

Monument · Pinell de Solsonès, Solsonès, Lleida

The castell de Madrona stands at the western end of the settlement of Madrona, a population entity of the municipality of Pinell de Solsonès, in the comarca of Solsonès, situated on a ridge at 540 metres of altitude, at the foot of the Serra de Sant Joan and surrounded by mountains of Corsican pine, Scots pine and holm oak. A castle documented since 1053, with its first known lords, the Gombau family, in 1085; today it is very ruined and its plan is barely distinguishable, beside the remains of the Romanesque church of Sant Pere de Madrona, whose old rectory has been restored as rural tourism accommodation.
