Guided Tours

The exhibition “Un castell, un camí” [One Castle, One Way] in the museum space of the History Building makes it clear that Castellet castle has always been linked to guarding transport routes, going as far back as Iberian times, 2,500 years ago. Guided tours combine the guides’ explanations with audio-visual presentations. These show the finds from the archaeological excavations at the castle as well as pieces in a guest collection

The museum is currently housing an exhibition of the archaeological discoveries uncovered during the recent remodelling of the AP-7 motorway intersections in Vilafranca del Penedès (Barcelona). They include the remains of dwellings, food storage silos and tombs found in over 200 structures, all dating back to between the Neolithic period and the Early Iron Age (between 7,500 and 2,750 years ago). At the same time, you can also see a sample of Medieval Hispanic ceramics from the Fundación Francisco Godia collection.

The guided tours take place the second weekend of each month, on Saturday and Sunday, from 10 am to 2 pm. To take maximum advantage of the visits, which last about 45 minutes, groups of about 15 people are made up. The tour is free. It is advisable to book in advance by calling 902 430 462, both for individuals and groups.
