In the Middle Ages, Pallars Jussà was a borderland and the border castles from those times still exist today. Real fortresses built 1,000 years ago, such as the Castell de Mur or the Castell de Llordà, which have preserved a rich heritage of military architecture, with around twenty defence towers and castles.
In Salàs de Pallars the museum is the streets of the village.

We can even organise a wine tasting at the winery itself, all tailor-made for you.
