Castle of Glorieta

Monument · Passanant i Belltall, Conca de Barberà, Tarragona

Glorieta Castle was built around 1162 in the hamlet of Glorieta, a village attached to the municipality of Passanant i Belltall (Conca de Barberà), reached by a road that runs from Passanant towards Forès, at 750 metres above sea level. Of the fortress one of its towers survives today, 16 metres high. The hamlet also boasts a communal oven, already mentioned in the 16th century and used until 1940, and a Gothic processional cross of silver and enamels, kept at the Diocesan Museum of Tarragona, which returns to the village every year for the patron saint's festival on 15 August.
