Castellet Castle dates from the 10th century, originally little more than a large fortified house with a watchtower, it was intended to protect the Hispanic March of al-Andalus.

Over time and the successive occupants it did not fall into disuse thanks to its strategic position between Garraf and Penedès. Today it is a tourist attraction, thanks to its state of conservation and its privileged location on the meander of the Foix River, today occupied by the Foix reservoir. There is a terrace bar, very popular with bikers and cyclists, just off the road.

Castellet Castle is a building in Castellet i la Gornal (Alt Penedès) declared a cultural asset of national interest. Castellet Castle was built on top of a hill next to a meander of the river Foix, where the reservoir of the same name is currently located. This hill is located on the Penedès side of the coastal ridge that forms part of the south-western end of the mountain range formed by the Ordal and the Garraf. It served to control the eastern sector of the Penedès plain; at the other end of the plain was the fortification of Castellvi de la Marca. It can be seen from the Montmell mountain range to Montserrat.
