Torre Negra is a twelfth-century fortified house in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Catalonia, constructed in 1145 to defend local territories. Built in the Gothic architectural style, this stone structure rises three floors topped by an observation platform, positioned strategically for defense. The fort is equipped with arrow and cannon windows positioned at angles to maximize surveillance and firepower, while most openings are reinforced with iron bars. Now recognized as a Cultural Asset of Catalan heritage, Torre Negra remains under urban protection.
