Spain · 13th century
Castell de Palol d'Onyar is a castle in the village of Palol de Oñar, a settlement belonging to the municipality of Quart, in the Gironés. Its present condition is very damaged. It is privately owned, and so cannot be visited. Little is known of its history, only that in 1350 the castle was given by Dalmau de Palol to his daughter Sibila. It is believed to have been completed during the 13th or 14th century, and it is documented in the 14th century. The church of San Sadurní adjoins the castle.
