01About the place

Castle in the heart of the Albera forest, near the village of Requesens (La Jonquera), documented around the year 859.

What can be seen today is mainly the neo-medieval reconstruction of 1893–1899 directed by Alexandre Comalat for the Counts of Peralada, with three enclosures, crenellated towers and a chapel, considered one of the best examples of neo-medieval architecture in Catalonia.
