Todolella Castle, Todolella, Spain

Todolella Castle was built in the 14th century and later rebuilt as a residence in the 16th century. It comprises four structures, sitting around a central patio, where there are different types of rooms.

The mason-built walls of Todolella Castle are topped with merlons, thanks to a recent restoration project. The castle is currently a private property and inhabited, but you can come for a visit when you book in advance.

Although it is a private property, we were able to go almost to the garden because it is not fenced and access can be done by car. They don't like to be bothered; There is a sign on the door stating that you cannot visit and that they should not ring the doorbell.

It is a home and cannot be visited. But the town anchored in the Middle Ages, all in stone. Within the town you can access the castle. But there was no restaurant or bar open, there were no services. It wasn't bad...

Mandatory visit when visiting the Ports region, specifically the beautiful town of La Todolella.

The castle cannot be visited because it is private property. After following the directions to get to the castle along a path that if I do not go with my 4x4, I find a sign stating that it is private property. I recommend NOT GOING to the castle because you will find that it is closed and on the outside there is nothing to see, what a disappointment.

Historic Site of the week

Bengtskär Lighthouse

Towering 52 meters above the sea, Bengtskär lighthouse is the tallest one in Scandinavia. The building started in in 1905 after the shipwreck of S/S Helsingfors and was completed in 1906. The lighthouse was designed by architect Florentin Granholm. On December a special petrol lantern, designed and built in Paris, was brought to Bengtskär and installed atop the tower.

German fleet bombarded Bengstkär in the First World War in 1914. Since the Gulf of Finland was heavily mined, it was not until 1919 that the surrounding seas were declared safe for shipping, that the light was lit again.

After the war the military value of Bengtskär increased as part of the defence system of independent Finland. In Second World War (1941) Soviet Union made a suprise attack to island. After a bloody battle, the small Finnish garrison emerged victorious. Intermittent repairs to the facility continued during the post-war period.
