The Castell de Peralada has its origins in the 14th century, when it was built as a medieval fortress. It was an important defensive and residential center during the Middle Ages.
Over the centuries, the castle underwent significant renovations, incorporating Gothic and Renaissance elements into its architecture. These changes gave the castle its current appearance.
The castle has been owned by several noble families throughout its history. One of the most notable owners was the Dalí family, whose most famous member, the painter Salvador Dalí, spent part of his childhood in Peralada.
