Magnificent medieval contruction raised on the top of
a small hill, on the first periods isolated and finally sheltered for the
houses that have been built arount it.
The Pallargues’ Castle is from irregular floor, formed
from three polygons with diferent dimensions, on those we can find different
stances.
We can higlight of this building, the magnific gothic
arch of 13 meters of height, the wide rooms and big picture windows, like the
Nobility room, and all the rest warm rooms: the ancient bedroom, the chapel,
the cellar...
The Pallargues' Castle won the award “Catalunya Nostra” given by the Foundation “Castells
Culturals de Catalunya”, for the great effort made in his rehabilitation, and
in his culture use and conservation of the fortress.
GUIDED TOURS:
The owner of
the castle on the year 1315 was Berenguer of Rajadell and with the pass of the
time belonged to the lords of Concabella, the family Argençola and the Rocaberti
family, nowadays the actual owners are the family Rovira.
From the
construction we can highlight: his external aspect, for his main facade, with a
gothic arcade of meters of height, and a cilindric watch tower on a side. The
nobility floor is presided by the
Chapters room, a sober and elegant space, with a very high roof, going there
you can log in to the ancient bedroom and the Chapel of Sant Miquel.
Some
