Saldes castle

Saldes castle is a frontier castle in the municipality of Saldes, in the Berguedà (province of Barcelona), declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest. It is located near the centre of Saldes, next to its north-eastern part, on a hill commanding the valley, in the mountains.

It is currently in ruins, although these have been restored. Remains of a castle set on rocks, formed from a wall running along the hill a few metres from the summit. Substantial walls mark out a wide perimeter. The castle includes remains of buildings resting on the rocks and a small Romanesque chapel at one end. A two-storey nave survives with a pointed stone vault roof, of irregular ashlars and following squared courses.
