Celrà Castle is open to the public every day of the year during daylight hours, as it is an open-air site with free access. To get there, you can take the GI-524 road from Celrà, and there is nearby parking; it is recommended to use GPS or check the map on the official Celrà Town Hall website: Celrà Town Hall.
Admission to Celrà Castle is completely free, as it is a historic monument open to the public without restrictions. No tickets or advance reservations are required for individual visits, although for organized groups you may contact the Town Hall at +34 972 49 20 01.

Celrà Castle is a medieval castle from the 11th century built by the Counts of Empúries, and it played a key role in defense against invasions and in the feudal history of the Empordà region. Today, it stands as a testament to Catalan Romanesque architecture and is a protected cultural heritage site, ideal for understanding the historic heritage of Girona.
Spring (March to June) or autumn (September to November) are ideal because of the mild weather and fewer tourists, avoiding the summer heat. Visit early in the morning to enjoy natural light and panoramic views without crowds, especially on weekends.
The main access to the castle involves a dirt path with some incline, which may be challenging for wheelchairs, but there are partially adapted routes near the base. For more details or assistance, contact Celrà Town Hall at +34 972 49 20 01 or visit their website: Celrà Town Hall.
Near the castle, you can visit the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants in Girona (about 15 km away), Montgrí Natural Park, or the Celrà History Museum. To plan your trip, check the Girona tourism portal: Girona Tourism, which offers combined routes.
