Castell de Boixadors crowns a hilltop in Sant Pere Sallavinera at 848 meters elevation, strategically positioned in Catalonia's Anoia region to command access routes to the Calaf plateau. This 11th-century fortress emerged as part of the Marca Hispànica's defensive line against incursions from the Caliphate of Córdoba, and the Boixadors family maintained lordship from 1100 onwards, eventually sharing the surname Foixà-Boixadors from the 15th century. The castle preserves an elegant circular tower with three floors accessible via doors on the first two levels, covered by distinctive false stone cupolas, alongside Gothic-style seignorial structures and a Romanesque church of Sant Pere. Designated a cultural asset of national interest, the castle opens to the public on first Sundays each month and accommodates group visits, offering visitors access to this remarkably preserved medieval stronghold amid Catalan heritage sites.
