Nestled on a hill near the urban center and the cemetery of Sant Quintí de Mediona stands the 14th-century relic, Sant Quintí Castle. Reborn after the 1714 village fire, this national landmark is more than just a medieval fortress. Its quadrilateral enclosure, adorned with a square tower in one corner, reveals the castle's enigmatic structure. The walls, marked with counterforts and irregular stones, are a testament to its medieval ancestry. Today, the ruins of Sant Quintí Castle serve as a poignant reminder of Sant Quintí de Mediona's historical lineage, particularly the Vescomtes of Cardona.
