Discovering the Enigma: Torre d'en Pega – A Medieval Tower Shrouded in Mystery,

Standing tall in Spanish Riells, Torre d'en Pega shares a close kinship with nearby Castell de Montsoriu. This grand tower, presumably built in the 12th or 13th century, boasts a square base of three meters and walls approximately 1.05 meters thick, constructed using rugged stones bound with mortar. Today, only the northern and eastern walls remain, hinting at a more imposing structure in days gone by. The tower has silently witnessed numerous transactions. In 1038, Guerau I de Cabrera and Ermessenda de Montsoriu bestowed land, including the current Torre d'en Pega, upon the monastery of Sant Salvador de Breda. Later, the territory belonging to the property of the castle-fort of Busquets was sold by Bernat II, the Viscount of Cabrera. However, available records suggest that Torre d'en Pega no longer formed part of the Cabrera viscounty in the 16th century.
