High above Castellar de la Ribera: The Legacy of the 12th-Century Castellar

The Castellar Castle Wall system, a national cultural heritage site in Castellar de la Ribera, Spain, is a dramatic testament to the past. Located in the small town of Castellar, it consists of remnants of walls, basements, and a cylindrical tower. The castle, built in the 12th century, was a formidable stronghold, as evidenced by its strategic location and the documentary evidence from 1154. The castle's control passed through various hands over the centuries, including the Josa family, who held power around the 16th century.
