    Fascinating and charming

    My son and I went to see Gardeny castle during our road trip around Northern Spain and it was well worth stopping there if you are driving past. The ruins are in the middle of improvements to the surrounding area so we couldn't wander around...More

    A neat little insight into the local history of the Templars

    This site is nowhere near as preserved as the Seu Vella, but it's an important piece of history nonetheless. You can learn about how the Knights Templar came into possession of the hill and modest castle, and see some fractions of ancient murals. It's quite...More

    Almost ignored

    Nestled at the top of one of the hills of Lleida, Gardeny castle is half forgotten or ignored by the people of Lleida. Maybe it is because for decades in was a military center with barracks and thousands of soldiers dwelling there. Now that he...More

    A proper castle

    A proper castle for once. Built to dominate the country round about and, more importantly, the town down below. Note the clear field of fire you'd get from the upper car park.

    Well worth the time

    Medieval cathedral fortress on top of mount, more church than castle. Great views. Too bad the church is not open to the public.

    Ruins of a templar castle

    A delusion as the surronding area looks, full of debrises and dirt. Visit of the ruins not worth, as inside no historical pieces can be seen..
