Bellpuig Castle preserves the remains of an old 16th-century residential fortress, although its origins date back to the 11th century. Despite looting and subsequent renovations, the lower galleries can still be explored, and part of the southeast wall can be seen, allowing one to imagine its former grandeur. Today, the building houses municipal offices and a music school, and is an interesting stop for learning about the area's noble history during a tour of Bellpuig.
