Castle of Montagut

Monument · Querol, Alt Camp, Tarragona

Image of Querol, not of the place itself.

The castle of Montagut, a border castle of which barely more than ruins remain atop the Montagut hill, is reached by a paved track from Querol. It is documented since the year 990, when Sendred de Gurb donated to Sant Cugat the allodial lands he held within the boundaries of the castles of Montagut, Querol and Pinyana; in 996 Sendred himself and his wife Matresinda sold the castle, together with those of Querol and Pinyana, to Hug, Sendred's brother. From the mid-12th century onward, the Montagut family is documented as castellans, dependent on the Cervelló, in whose hands the castle remained throughout the Middle Ages.
