The remains of the castle Gimenells consist of three distinct structures. To the north are the main building, a square tower which has a sloping base made up of large stones. Regarding the constructive structure southern rectangular one can assume that it is a building before the tower or, at least, linked to the start of the fortification. It is possible to think of a coherent Islamic. You should try a tank of the primitive fortress later served as the basis for a room of the farmhouse. a third structure that is in the plateau of the hill, noon seems to have been a sort of cellar or warehouse, built in the fourteenth century and later adapted to the needs of the farmhouse, in the last century.
