Description

This document includes a period, that is, an acknowledgment of payment, for work carried out at the castle of Cassà de la Selva. Its uniqueness lies in the ability to document the administrative and economic practices related to the maintenance of medieval fortifications. It is a valuable testimony of lordly management and the relationship between the feudal powers and the workers. In addition, it reflects the strategic and symbolic importance of castles in the configuration of the territory and in the defense of local power in medieval Catalonia.
