Castle of Sant Martí

Monument · Sant Martí de Riucorb, Urgell, Lleida

The castle of Sant Martí de Maldà, documented since 1212, crowns the hamlet of the same name, at 421 metres above sea level, within the municipal term of Sant Martí de Riucorb, a municipality created from the merger of several villages in 1972. Of the medieval fabric only the lintel of a window survives, bearing the date 1779, the year of a renovation that gave it its present appearance as a three-storey house: on the ground floor a round-arched doorway opens onto a garage, on the first floor there are three windows, and on the top floor a porticoed gallery with Tuscan columns. It is listed as a bien cultural de interés nacional (the highest heritage protection status in Catalonia).
