Castell de Malgrat

Castell de Malgrat stands as a 14th-century watchtower and defensive structure towering above Malgrat de Mar on the Maresme coast of Barcelona province. Rising approximately 20 metres high, this compact yet formidable castle served as a lookout post during the medieval period, signalling the approach of invaders to coastal communities. Today, the castle is listed as a Cultural Asset of National Interest and anchors Parc del Castell, which offers panoramic views from its hilltop location overlooking the Mediterranean. The park features recreational amenities and botanic gardens, providing visitors with both historical context and scenic vistas of the surrounding coastal landscape and neighbouring castle structures.
