A special place in the Montseny mountain range where you can enjoy wonderful panoramic views of the Vic plain, the cliffs of Centelles and the peaks of Montseny itself... next to a 12th century Romanesque church, nestled within the ruined castle of Tagament.

A 10th-century fortress that controlled the passes between Montseny and Vallès. It had a main hall, a kitchen, and a cistern because there is no water at the top. Part of the castle was damaged by a medieval landslide, and from then on it functioned more as a lookout point and toll collection point than as a residence. It was also part of the fire and smoke signal network between the valleys. Abandoned since the 15th century, today only walls and sweeping vistas remain, explaining its strategic importance.
