The Tarragona Historical Archive has produced the exhibition “The World of the Castellarnau” to preserve and disseminate documentary heritage, focusing on a noble lineage significant in Catalonia since the 11th century.

The exhibition details the history of the Castellarnau family, whose origins date back to the 11th century in the Vall Ferrera. The first member of this lineage to settle in Tarragona was Carles de Castellarnau, in 1749. His arrival in the city was marked by his marriage to Maria Magrinyà, heiress to a merchant family from Vila-seca.
This marriage led to the expansion of the Castellarnau family's assets, which extended to rural and urban properties in various towns in the Camp de Tarragona region.
