Step into the heart of the Conca de Barberà and immerse yourself in the tale of Castell d'Albió. This story stretches back to 1075 when Guillem, son of Mir, gifted half an alou in Castell d'Albió to his wife, Ermengarda. During the Templar and Hospitaler eras, the castle was home to a Carlà. Despite entering a seemingly decaying state during a 1602 visit from the Hospitalers, the castle continued to stand as a significant political and military landmark for centuries. Before its abandonment, Castell d'Albió played a pivotal role in history. Now, the castle's remnants invite us to journey back in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of the Templars who once called it home.
