Built in the 11th century, Torressa de Bellvís is a medieval fortress standing tall in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain. This historic castle has served as a seat for the Bellvís family and, despite several reconstructions, continues to stand as a testament to the past.

The Bellvís Castle, known locally as La Torrassa, is a national cultural heritage site in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain. First mentioned in the 11th century, it was constructed by the Bellvís family as a defensive structure. Over the next 250 years, it served as their seat until the end of the 14th century. Though abandoned and reconstructed throughout history, the castle remains standing, undergoing ongoing restoration work.
