Castellciuró is a castle located in the municipality of Molins de Rey, in Bajo Llobregat, in the Collserola mountain range, very close to the hermitage of Santa Cruz de Olorde and Puig de Olorda. It is currently in ruins, although these have been restored, and it also serves as a viewpoint.

Documented in 1066, the oldest part of the remains of this castle is a wall in opus spicatum (work of inclined stones, alternating the direction of the inclination in each course) very well built, which could be of Visigothic origin (8th century). or pre-Romanesque (10th century) and were destroyed around the year 985 by the Saracen hordes of Almanzor. Of its scarce remains, a couple of walls and a cistern embedded in the rock stand out.

A century later the castle would pass under the direct domain of King Jaime II. In 1320, the sovereign granted Simón des Llor (de Lauro) permission to build a new castle on the site, and in 1332 Molins de Rey and the site of Ciuró were sold for 10,000 salaries. In 1632, "Molins de Rey" and "Santa Creu d'Olorda" are recorded as places owned by Countess Benavent, although by then the castle must have been in a very poor state of preservation. The current owner is Mr. Lluís Vila, a resident of Molins de Rey.

The castle was built on the site of the Guadallo tower (mentioned in 998), at a height of 155 meters and in a fairly strategic location. It is located on the westernmost hill of the branch that leaves the hill of Can Ribes joined, and a very short distance, with the Puig de Olorda. This situation gives it a good perspective of the course of the Llobregat river and the town of Molins de Rey. It was granted to the Hospitallers in the 12th century, according to a document from 1162 in what is known as “Cidró”. In 1202 it was owned by the Order of the Temple.
