The Castle of Tamarit was built in the 12th century in Romanesque style. Its walls protected the watchtower, the parish church, the abbey, and the houses of some gentlemen.
This castle is located beside the Gaia river between Tarragona and Altafulla and its function was to defend the coast of pirates and the Ottoman.
With the reconquest against Muslims, defending the attack by sea pirates and the protection of Mediterranean trade were the reasons for building a watchtower, which nowadays it stills remains.

It was in the fourteenth century, when the castle was earmarked for coastal surveillance to prevent attacks by pirates, and later, during the reign of Peter IV of Aragon , Castle and Vila Closa was surrounded by a wall that comes directly on coastal rocks, protecting his flank more exposed to the sea.
