Pals
Pals’ historic ensemble comprises a castle, village and walls. Its castle was first documented in 889. Following damage during the Catalan civil war, the king permitted its stones to be reused for Saint Peter’s church and the walls; the circular tower survived. Pals became an independent municipality in 1501.

Editorial interpretation: The relationship between a surviving tower and reused building stone offers a way to read the ensemble through change. Distinguishing the castle’s first documentation from municipal independence also separates two different historical milestones.
Written by Le Roi du Village. It sets out what is documented, not what is worth seeing.
