Spain · 10th century
Castell de Queralt stands on a crag at the western end of the Sierra de Queralt, in the south-western part of the comarca of the Noya, near the dividing line with the Cuenca de Barberá, the Alto Campo and the Alto Panadés. In the 10th century, because of its strategic position, the castle represented the edge of the March.
