Guided tour of Subirats Castle

Come and discover the stories hidden in a border castle, with an imposing 19-meter-high tower, and the Romanesque church of Sant Pere del Castell, now the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Fontsanta.

Castell de Subirats offers a splendid viewpoint overlooking the Penedès region and the Montserrat mountains. A long history lies hidden behind the castle walls. In fact, from this historic site, one can glimpse the history of Catalonia during the turbulent centuries of the Reconquista.

It was one of the first castles built at the beginning of the 10th century, when Sunyer, Count of Barcelona, spearheaded the conquest of the Penedès region from the Saracens. In 1307, Geralda de Codines, accused of witchcraft and heresy, pointed the finger at Axa, a Muslim woman, accusing her of the same and of having been supported by the castle's castellan.

A historian will lead the guided tour, which lasts 45 minutes. This can be combined with a walk around the surrounding area and a self-guided visit to the medieval village of Torre-Ramona or the Torrota de Can Llopart.
