Castell de Montbui

Spain, Spain

---

Castell de Montbui, also known as Castell de la Tossa, is a medieval fortress perched on La Tossa hill in the Òdena basin near Montbui, Catalonia, Spain, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

First mentioned in documents from 960 AD, it originated during the 9th-century conquest by Wilfred the Hairy and later passed to the Bishopric of Vic, with early structures including a pre-Romanesque church of Santa Maria and a square tower with rounded corners.

 Managed by families like Mediona in the 11th century and Montbui in the 12th, it served as a key power center until declining in the 17th century, and recent restorations have preserved its Romanesque and Gothic elements for visitors.
