Discover Penyafort Castle
With this visit, we encourage you to discover the heritage building that best explains the historical evolution of the municipality of Santa Margarida i els Monjos, Penyafort Castle.
During the 11th century, a watchtower was erected at the foot of Olèrdola Castle, intended to protect the land conquered from the Muslims of Al-Andalus. Since then, a church, a convent, a summer residence of the industrial bourgeoisie and even a prison dependent on the republican aviation during the Civil War, have been added to the original fortification.
With this visit, we will travel through time starting with the reconquest of the Catalan counties, to continue with the implementation of the Catholic counter-reformation, confiscations and the industrial revolution, until the outbreak of war in 1936 and the subsequent arrival of the first American tourists.
