A few months ago I covered the route from the R 3 train station, from Farga de Bebié to Montesquiu Castle and back to Sant Quirze de Besora Pueblo de la Ratafía: It is approximately 5 km. It is worth it, it is a very beautiful route.

Lluçà Castle is perched on top of a hill near the center of Lluçà, at an altitude of 896 m. The medieval castle is currently in ruins and the current remains consist of a wall lock on the north side of the complex, two stories high, in which opens a bay window that has lost its column, and two rectangular rooms in the south corner. The larger room, located to the east, was covered with a barrel vault, now collapsed, in which two doors open, covered with a perfectly arched semi-circular arch. The other room is a small, almost square, barrel-vaulted outbuilding accessed through the roof, without any other opening, which suggests that it was a cistern, a hypothesis that is confirmed by its plastered walls and slipped In the northern part of the Castle, a small jewel of the Catalan Romanesque is preserved: the chapel of Sant Vicenç del Castell, one of the few well-preserved churches with a circular plan in all of Catalonia. https://turisme.llucanes.cat/visiteu/castell-de-lluca/ https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castell_de_Llu%C3%A7%C3%A0

The Montesquiu castle, in the Osona region, is a beautiful example of a recently restored medieval fortification. Built, surely, during the 13th century, it formed a defensive triangle together with the castles of Besora and Saderra.

Fantastic castle that is worth visiting

It appears for the first time in documents from 1285, appearing as a fortified house that would later be called a castle. At first it was known as Colobrer castle and later, Montesquiu. Its origin is probably in the enclave where there was a guard tower that Count Guifré (el Pilós) ordered to be built in the 11th century. In the 14th century it was converted into a fortified residence and in the 16th century the castle was enlarged and fortified. However, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that it was reformed to give it the appearance it has today.

Milany Castle is a castle on top of Milany. This is the Catalan castle built at a higher height, specifically at 1,529 meters.
