Nestled in the Catalonia region, this charming town is known for its impressive medieval castle, old town ambiance, and the famous salt mountain that forms a dramatic backdrop to its scenic streets.

A Glimpse into the Past

Cardona’s origins date back to the 9th century, prospering thanks to its strategic location and abundant salt deposits. The imposing castle, which once served as a fortress and residence for noble families, stands as a reminder of the town’s prominent role in Catalonia’s medieval history. Walking through its cobbled streets, you can feel the lingering echoes of centuries gone by.
