The Vilarig Castle

The Vilarig Castle-Palace, with the church of Sant Martí next to it, dominates the southern end of this small complex of buildings arranged irregularly along the ridge. Its origins date back to the 10th century and it preserves the remains of an early medieval fortification, with opus spicatum and cut cobblestones. The small group of buildings, with architectural structures from between the 15th – 18th centuries, currently retain their archaic appearance and offer various traditional construction solutions, which have been preserved without any significant modifications. The old bailey of the castle, now converted into a threshing floor, is very well marked by the remains of the outer wall which can be seen at various points on the perimeter.
