On October 10th, Calonge de Segarra Castle hosted an open day as part of the European Heritage Days, detailing the ongoing restoration work.

The lead archaeologist, Eduard Píriz, presented the various archaeological interventions carried out at the castle, illustrating the progress of the work and the plans for future phases. Phase 1 of structural restoration and consolidation has concluded, and Phase 2, focusing on the castle's courtyard, has recently been awarded.
The event provided firsthand insight into structures discovered during last summer's archaeological excavation, including the tower, staircases, and cereal storage silos. Eduard Píriz shared historical anecdotes, such as an earthquake that impacted the tower and its subsequent reconstruction.
