Castell de la Suda

Costa Daurada & Around


Looming high above the old town, Tortosa's 10th-century fortress is a maze of unfinished stairways, trails to nowhere, and spectacular lofty views, now mostly occupied by the luxurious Parador de Tortosa. Next to the parador lies a small Islamic cemetery of the 10th to 12th centuries.
