The castle of Castellet dates from the 10th century, originally little more than a large fortified house with a watchtower, it was intended to protect the Hispanic March from al-Andalus.
Over time and successive occupants it did not fall into disuse thanks to its strategic position between the Garraf and the Penedès. Today it is a tourist attraction, thanks to its state of conservation and its privileged location above the meander of the river Foix, now occupied by the Foix reservoir. There is a bar with a terrace very popular with bikers and cyclists, next to the road.
