The castle in the small town of Palol de Revardit was built in the 15th/16th century, but a castle existed on this site as early as 1074. After 2005, it was extensively renovated. Unfortunately, we could only view it from the outside (on a Saturday afternoon), as all the doors were locked. We would also have liked to visit the interior and the exhibition. We were not able to find out when the castle is open.

History of Sant Miquel Castle Currently, Sant Miquel Castle belongs to the municipality of Girona, but until 1974 it belonged to the municipality of Celrà. The architectural complex is located on the top of Puig del Castellar, at 394 meters above sea level. From its strategic location you can see the Valley of Sant Daniel, the town of Celrà, the plain of Empordà and the city of Girona. The complex, made up of a section of wall, a watchtower and a hermitage, dates back to medieval times.

Verges, charming medieval town. Natural break point on all RdT routes.

The castle of Palagret or Mabarrera is in the middle of the Palagret valley, at the top of a small hill, 178 m high, in the northernmost foothills of the Gavarres massif to the south-east of the Celrà center and to the south- west of Juià. Strategically located to control the Roman-era road that allowed access to Girona from the Baix Empordà through the Gavarres. Important medieval vestiges of the licorella walls of a rectangular construction as well as pre-Romanesque elements are preserved from the castle. The preserved remains could be dated to the 10th and 11th centuries,[1] and its last occupants left the premises between the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th.[2] It is a building in Celrà (Gironès) declared a cultural asset of national interest.

Verges is a small Empordà village with great medieval charm. In its historic center parts of its wall and castle are still preserved in good condition. Getting lost in its winding streets between stone buildings is like taking a trip back in time.

It is possibly the best known and practiced route in Girona. I recommend it to everyone. Doing this route at night is also spectacular.

Ascent with steep gradients, especially when passing the Girona variant until connecting with the path that goes up to Sant Miquel through the Vall de Sant Daniel.

The architectural complex is made up of the old hermitage dedicated to Santa Maria and Sant Miquel, built on top of the previous medieval fortification, from which the bases of a circular tower through the apse are used. It seems that the hermitage was occupied by hermits between the s. XVI and XVIII, although the documentation records the start of construction in the s. XV The location took on military importance during the French war (1808-1814), especially due to the sieges of Girona (1808-1809), where the domain of the castle alternated several times between the Napoleonic army and the Miquelets. After the war, the hermitage was already demolished. The other architectural element is the telegraph tower, erected during the second Carline war (1846-1849) to house the civil optical telegraph line, while the military line was located in the hermitage tower.
