What to see and do in Pinós

Pinós
Village
Pinós is a municipality in the comarca of the Solsonès, in the south-east of the province of Lleida, located at the geographical centre of Catalonia, which also administratively includes the enclave of Malagarriga, in the province of Barcelona. Made up of five settlements between 700 and 800 metres of altitude, it sits on the Solsonès plateau, crossed from north-east to south-west by the Serra de Pinós, which peaks at 930.6 metres and separates the waters flowing to the Llobregat from those flowing to the Segre. In 2008 it was one of the nine founding members of the Associació de Micropobles de Catalunya. The castle of Ardèvol, with a rectangular tower from the 10th century, crowns one of its settlements. It has 274 inhabitants (INE 2025).
Castle of Ardèvol
Monument
A rectangular tower built around the mid-10th century, together with those of Pinós, Vallferosa and Torà, when the eastern frontier of the county of Urgell was organised against the Muslim lands. The castle already existed around 986, and in 1027 a church of Sant Just is documented in its territory; from the 13th century it had its own lords - Guerau d'Ardèvol in 1222, Ponç d'Ardèvol in 1273 - and from 1314 it belonged to the viscounty, and later county, of Cardona. The original tower, rectangular in plan at 8 by 4.70 metres with walls 150 cm thick, still stands about 15 metres high, with a door set 6 metres above the ground. Around the 12th century a circular tower about 11 metres in diameter was added, enclosing it, which collapsed in the 1930s.
