Castell de Bell-lloc

La Roca del Vallès, Spain, Spain

---

Castell de Bell-lloc in La Roca del Vallès, Catalonia, Spain, is a medieval masía-castle with origins tracing back to the early 11th century, when it was granted to Geribert Guitard, restorer of Barcelona's Sant Pau del Campo monastery, along with its San Pedro chapel.

Controlled by noble families like the Counts of Bell-lloc—who received their title from King-Archduke Charles III—it served as an independent village with its own mayor until 1836, when it was annexed to La Roca del Vallès, featuring a converted tower-master into a Sant Pau chapel amid wartime destruction during the War of Independence.

Declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest, the site reflects centuries of feudal lordship through successive owners including the Marquises and military figures like Ramon de Bell-lloc y Macip before being sold by the family in 1944.
