Eramprunyą Castle

Built out of the typical red stone of the area

This castle, a listed building, is on the Turó de l´Eramprunyą hill, in the Garraf massif. The earliest reference to the castle dates back to the 10th century.

Up to 1323, it was under the jurisdiction of the Counts of Barcelona, but King Jaume II sold it to Pere March. A double wall was built in 1375 while under the ownership of the March family. A century later the castle was set on fire.


Originally, it consisted of a near-rectangular floor plan and was partly surrounded by a double outer wall. Inside the walls, most of the Sant Miquel hermitage still remains. Two cisterns and a number of anthropomorphic graves have also been excavated, among other structures.
