THE MONTCLAR CASTLE

Map The Montclar castle The majestic Castle of Montclar dominates the village which has the same name in the region of Urgell (Spain).

The castle, edified over the remains of an ancient roman tower, shows an elegant architecture of the Catalan Renaissance, of the XVI and XVII centuries, and has been restored recently.

The main charm of the castle is to be found in the spaciousness of its rooms, in the big staircase that goes up to the noble floor...without forgetting its exterior architecture very well kept up.

During the visit we will see:
The music chamber, the library, the dining room, the chamber of the lords, the wine cellar, the prison … and a huge number of details which will attract our attention.

The Montclar castle (L'Urgell – Spain) is one of the few fortresses in which it is possible today to celebrate weddings, banquets, and celebrations in its dependencies. The name Montclar "Monte Claro" indicates its privilegiated position from which there is an exceptional view over the Urgell and the Noguera plains.
