    Castellruf Hill is a 459 m hill located in the municipality of Santa Maria de Martorelles, in the Catalan region of Vallès Oriental.

    On the hill are the remains of a dolmen, an Iberian village and an 11th century castle. It is a very busy place for hikers, who find easy itineraries from the surrounding towns.

    The Castellruf dolmen is a megalith that is 1.60 m long by 1.50 m wide and 60 cm high. Next to it was the Castellruf menhir, which has recently been moved to the Plaza de Santa Maria de Martorelles.

      The Iberian village of Turó de Castellruf is a neighbor of the Catalan Iberian villages of Turó de Montgat, Puig Castellar and Turó d'en Boscà. It seems that it began to live in the archaic Iberian period (an archaeological remains from the 7th century BC are preserved) and was abandoned or destroyed at the beginning of the 2nd century BC, following the change of economic and political conditions, and the campaigns of Cato and his followers. Some of the remains found in the excavations are preserved in the Museum of Granollers.

      Castellruf Castle (castro vocitato Radolphi) is mentioned as early as 1060 in the Libri antiquitatis of Barcelona Cathedral. At present, only a few walls remain, next to the Iberian ruins. Originally, this castle was owned by the town of Santa Maria de Martorelles, while today it is the other way around.
