Peak that is part of the FEEC list of 100 peaks where two states and three municipalities meet, Portbou, Cervera de la Marenda and Banyuls de la Marenda. From this point you get wonderful views of the Mediterranean to the east and the Albera mountains to the west, in a magnificent 360º panorama that includes Puig de Sallafort, Puig Neulós and Cap de Creus.
At the top we find the ruins of an old medieval castle from the s. X-XI. The round tower is a later construction of the s. XIV or s. XV Until the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659) when the current northern Catalan counties came under French jurisdiction, the castle depended ecclesiastically on the Count of Empúries and the Bishopric of Girona. The construction technique, like the material, is reminiscent of the castle of Sant Salvador Saverdera, near Sant Pere de Rodes, a peak also included in the list of the 100 Peaks.
Salvem Querroig is a northern Catalan association that aims to restore the remains of the castle. For this reason, he had to contact the heir of the last known owner, Ponç Hug, Count of Empúries (1309). The current owner turned out to be Sol María de la Blanca de Medina i Orléans-Braganza, countess of Empúries, of the Ducal House of Medinaceli, based in Seville, and who has granted her permission for the works.
