At the heart of Middle Age
Legend has it that the castle of Cardona was never taken throughout its eleven centuries of history. The castle’s origins go back to Charlemagne, who reconquered the region from the Moors. As part of the lands of the Cardonas, one of the most influential Catalan families of the period, it soon became a military bulwark in many conflicts such as the Reapers’ War, the War of the Spanish Succession and the Peninsular War.
A notable feature of the castle is the cylindrical Maiden’s Tower, some 10 metres high. There are stories that one of the Lords of Cardona imprisoned his daughter there to stop her from meeting her lover, a young Moslem.
