Castle of les Piles

Monument · les Piles, Conca de Barberà, Tarragona

Castle that gives its name to the municipality of les Piles, in the comarca of the Conca de Barberà (Tarragona), catalogued as a fortified house of popular architecture. It is documented since 1057; in 1072 Oliver Bernat and his wife sold it to Ramon Berenguer I, and in 1096 Guerau Alemany de Cervelló swore fealty for it. The Timor family acquired it in 1234, and around 1380 it passed to the Boixadors family through marriage. Of the original building, much altered over time, only some ashlar blocks and a bastion with a round arch survive. It is declared a cultural asset of national interest.
