History

Our famous Castle is a National Cultural Asset of Spain which boasts a rich and legendary history inhabited by nobility including barons, knights, counts and marquis for more than a thousand years. In fact, a single elite family lived in the castle for over 800 years continuously! The Castle and its characters carry much legend and fame. As one example “El Comte Desperta Ferro” (The Knight and Count Guillem Galceran II of Cartellà), a historical figure of the thirteenth century, of a life full of adventure, war, politics and power, which invites us to the legend and let your imagination run wild. Spanish historians have prepared an extensive biography of different characters including Guillem. On the other hand, graphic designers, publicists and illustrators created comic books, recreating Guillem adventures and life in the Castle, where he was born and lived in the 13th century.
