The Castillo de Selma, also known as the Castell de Selma, is a ruined medieval fortress located in the municipality of Montmell, in the Baix Penedès. Documented as early as the 10th century, it was one of the most important castles in the Penedès marca, controlling the roads and lands of the area. For centuries it belonged to the Order of the Templars and then to the Hospitallers, until it was abandoned in the 15th century.

Today, only half-collapsed walls, towers and wall locks remain, surrounded by forest and silence. The path to the castle is stony and demanding, perfect for those looking for MTB with a touch of adventure. Once at the top, the view is immense: the entire Penedès plain at your feet, the surrounding mountains and, on clear days, the sea in the background. Despite its dilapidated state, it is a place full of history and mysticism, reminiscent of feudal splendor and the Templar presence in the area.
