The crumbling Palagret Castle and ancient Roman pathway in Celrà's hills

The Castell de Palagret, perched on a small hill in the valley of Palagret, is a testament to the medieval era. Its remnants show a rectangular construction with pre-Roman origins, dating back to the 10th and 11th centuries. Despite being abandoned, the northern sector of the castle features important buttresses that have prevented the walls from falling.

The stone walls of the castle are built from blocks of slate and a poor quality lime mortar, which, along with deficient foundations, has resulted in extremely fragile and unstable structures. These walls, which vary between 70 and 100 cm in width, also feature well-dressed limestone stones at the corners and openings to provide more solidity to the work.
