Visit to Gelida Castle and the spectacular views of the Penedès
Gelida Castle is a unique architectural work located in the Ordal mountain chain, in a space delimited between the torrents of Cantillepa and Sant Miquel.
Of great historical richness, this castle separated two territories and is a clear example of the passage of time in the Penedès, as it shows the traces of many works carried out over almost a thousand years. It has now become one of the most popular tourist spots in the municipality of Gelida.
What curiosities does this castle contain?
- Its external structure has reflected the historical processes it has undergone over the years.
