It houses over 8,000 medieval parchments, a veritable documentary treasure hidden within centuries-old walls. But it wasn't all glory: in its day, there were revolts because the lords of the castle forced the locals to work for free on construction projects, without bread or gratitude. Its structure is as legendary as its history, with a cylindrical tower that has stood since the 10th century and another square one added in the 13th. Today, it can only be visited on very specific dates, making it an almost secret place. Declared a historical monument in 1931, it remains a symbol of the town and, in recent years, also a curious setting where history and drinks intertwine seamlessly.

It seems plausible that the castle's origins date back to the 10th century, when there was already an original core consisting of a watchtower and a walled enclosure. The building acquired its current form in the 14th and 15th centuries and began to decline from the 16th century, although an important reform was carried out in the 18th century. In 1931 it was declared a historical-artistic monument and restored in 1950. In 1956, the reform and restoration work carried out by the owners was completed. It currently houses the historical archive of the Marquis of Barberà, with more than 8,000 scrolls, hundreds of paper bindings, 300 books and 70 manuscripts, and is one of the most important private medieval archives in our country.
