Now, attached to the ruins of the ancient castle of Montedono, a telescope of 400 mm. diameter, equipped and controlled automatically, allowing observation of the universe. The stars, nebulae and galaxies are easily observable. The refractor has sunscreen.

The Castle of Cardona is arguably the most important medieval fortress in Catalonia and one of the most important in Spain. It is situated on a hill overlooking the river valley of the Cardener and the town of Cardona. The fortress was initially constructed by Wilfred the Hairy in 886. It is in both the Romanesque and Gothic styles, and includes the so-called Sala Dorada and Sala dels Entresols.
