Discover the rich history of salt mining, delve into the geology, mineralogy, and botany of the region, and learn how this extraordinary landscape has influenced the area’s past.

• Castillo de Cardona, Conjunto - While Iberian remains have always been associated with the wealth of the Saline Valley, the origins of Cardona lie in its Castle. The village, which developed from the fortification, is today exceptionally well preserved. In addition to the medieval charm of its streets and squares, you will also find examples of Gothic and Romanesque churches, chapels, and civilian architecture.

The fortress’s geographical location, atop the mountain, perfectly aligns with its historical role in defending access to the salt mines. The structure also offers a privileged view of the Cardener River Valley. From the 11th to the 15th century, the castle served as the residence of some of the country’s most noble lineages of lords. As a defensive structure for the salt mines, the castle withstood several sieges throughout its history.
