Castell de Caldes

Castell de Caldes stands in the municipality of Caldes de Malavella, located in the Selva comarca of Girona province, in a region historically celebrated for its thermal waters. The fortress occupies a prominent position in the town's core and has been declared a cultural property of national interest, serving as an important landmark for understanding the region's medieval history. Though sections of the fortification remain visible—including portions of defensive walls and tower foundations—the castle offers visitors an opportunity to explore and learn about the strategic importance of inland Catalonian defensive positions. The site reflects the evolving architectural priorities of the region, from fortress to residential manor, and provides context for understanding settlement patterns during the medieval period.
