This enviable situation led him to be his military Viscounts of Cabrera at the time that this family was the most powerful country and the Mediterranean, next to Peter III, the ceremonious (thirteenth century).


While the earliest written references date from the year 1002, Montsoriu had been an area occupied by the Iberians. It later became a center of defense and strategic for more than five hundred years and was a landmark of the Catalan nobility and an impregnable fortress for its impeccable construction and for defense systems. Throughout history underwent numerous expansions to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and its role evolved to become a military residence palace, the castle when he reached his peak with a structure that is now possible to contemplate the visitor.
