Castell de Sant Iscle: New archaeological findings confirmed

The Castell de Sant Iscle, a medieval castle located in Vidreres, Catalonia, Spain, has seen significant archaeological activity in recent years. In August 2022, three new areas were excavated, shedding light on the history and evolution of the castle. These discoveries expanded on sectors previously excavated, such as a courtyard, a large part of the walls to the north and west, and various rooms that remained covered with debris and earth. In the area between the south facade of the castle and the moat, an excavation was carried out to better define the space and separate it from the moat.

Elsewhere, excavations in the southwest corner of the castle revealed the remains of a chapel dedicated to Sant Iscle and Santa Victòria, noting its reconstruction in the 15th century, followed by another renovation in the 16th century. Near the chapel, excavations discovered a patio portico attached to the remains of the tower of the castle's homage and a necropolis under the tower, which is believed to date back to the 9th or 10th centuries. These latest findings continue to contribute to a better understanding of the lives of those who inhabited the castle centuries ago.
