A historic gem in the heart of Catalonia: experience the legend in your own medieval castle. Nestled in the center of the charming town of Vallfogona de Riucorb, in the Conca de Barberà region (Tarragona), stands this unique castle steeped in history, having witnessed almost a thousand years of Templar and Hospitaller legacy. Built in the 11th century and documented since the 12th century, this fortress was ceded in 1191 to the legendary Order of the Knights Templar, who preserved it until their dissolution in 1312. Later, it passed into the hands of the Knights Hospitaller, who undertook its restoration in 1416, maintaining its splendor until the 19th century. This castle is part of both the emblematic Templar Route and the Cistercian Route, making it a true gem of Catalan heritage. Today, it´s a private property that retains all the medieval charm of yesteryear: original walls, Gothic windows, centuries-old doors, and an atmosphere that seems frozen in time. Among its treasures is an original manuscript dating back to before 1700, a historical piece of incalculable value. With a constructed area of 580 m², the property features 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a spacious interior courtyard, a renovated kitchen, a large living-dining room, and natural stone details that reflect the solidity and character of its construction. It also has heating, a wine cellar, a garage, and a 520 m² plot, perfect for enjoying the tranquility and magic of this unique place. Live where others only dream of visiting. This castle is not just a property, it´s a legacy. ...
