Castle of Cardona: Guided Visit

About: Castle of Cardona

The Castle of Cardona was constructed in 886 and is considered one of the most important medieval castles in all of Spain. Sitting majestically on a hilltop, it offers eye-melting views of the surrounding valley and the Pyrenees.

The building has undergone numerous renovations and extensions over the course of the centuries. You'll see elements of Romanesque and Gothic styles, plus the Minyona tower, where the young maid Adalés was allegedly kept as a recluse by her parents for being involved in an illicit affair!

Visitors can also explore the Church of Sant Vicenç, built in 1040 on the site of the old chapel of the castle. Don't miss the crypt below the presbytery – the Chapel of the Relics.

One of the largest and oldest-such geological formations in the world, Cardona Salt Mountain is a cultural gem of Catalunya which was formed over two million years ago as dense rock pushed salt towards the Earth's surface. This mountain of salt was discovered by the ancient Romans and has been bolstering the local economy ever since. These days, you can plumb the cavernous salt mines with traditional guided tours and theatrical tours that cover the amazing history of the site.

Up above the hustle and bustle of the French capital is quite literally rarefied air. Breathe it in with a visit to Tour Montparnasse.

On a clear day you can see for 40 km or more.
