Castell de Santa Pau

El castell de Santa Pau es remonta en els seus orígens documentats al segle IX, quan aquest topònim pareix esmentat per primera vegada. No obstant, l’actual castell, de planta quadrada i assentat sobre el promontori rocós on és situada la població homònima, va començar a ser bastit cap al segle XII.

En aquell moment, els senyors de Finestres, pertanyents al llinatge familiar dels Porqueres, van concedir en feu el castell de Santa Pau a la família del mateix nom. Al llarg de més de 60 anys, a cavall entre els segles XII i XIII es succeïren quatre castlans d’aquest llinatge, moment en que apareixen els senyors de Santa Pau, encara que el títol es presuposa que ja existia anteriorment.

Els Porqueres, en vendre’s a mitjan del segle XII el seu castell familiar a l’abat de Banyoles, van adoptar el cognom de Santa Pau i s’instal·laren a la Garrotxa, exercint-hi d’amfitrions del rei Pere el Gran en la seva campanya contra els francesos, que va acabar amb la batalla del coll de Panissars.

Diversos barons de Santa Pau van estar al costat dels reis de la Corona d’Aragó, com Ponç III, que participà a la campanya siciliana el 1297, o Huguet II, que ret�� homenatge el 1312 a Jaume II pels seus castells, inclosos els de Finestres i Santa Pau.

Més tard, al segle XV, la propietat de la baronia figura en mans de la família Oms. Probablement el primer baró de Santa Pau d’aquest llinatge va ser Berenguer V, que també ostentava la baronia de Montesquiu i era castlà de Cotlliure, entre d’altres títols.

A partir d’aquí, el llinatge d’Oms adopta l’afegit “de Santa Pau”. El primer en fer-ho va ser el fill d’en Berenguer, Guillem I d’Oms de Santa Pau, que morí el 1517. Posteriorment, en unir-se als Sentmenat, la baronia de Santa Pau restà en mans dels marquesos de Castelldosrius.

Actualment, el títol nobiliari és ostentat per una descendent de la família Sentmenat, la dissenyadora de moda Agatha Ruiz de la Prada i Sentmenat, que n’ocupa la vint-i-novena posició en la llista dels titulars de la baronia garrotxina. No obstant, el castell ja no pertany a la família, que el tenia en desús.

Santa Pau, a castle between history and fashion

The origins of the castle of Santa Pau date back to the 9th century, when this place name seems to have been mentioned for the first time. However, the present-day castle, with a square floor plan and perched on the rocky promontory where the village of the same name is located, began to be built around the 12th century.

At that time, the lords of Finestres, who belonged to the Porqueres family lineage, granted the castle of Santa Pau as a fief to the family of the same name. Over a period of more than 60 years, between the 12th and 13th centuries, four constables of this lineage succeeded one another, at which point the lords of Santa Pau appeared, although it is assumed that the title had already existed before that time.

The Porqueres, when their family castle was sold to the abbot of Banyoles in the mid-12th century, adopted the surname of Santa Pau and settled in La Garrotxa, acting as hosts to King Pere el Gran in his campaign against the French, which ended with the battle of the coll de Panissars.

Several barons of Santa Pau were at the side of the kings of the Crown of Aragon, such as Ponç III, who took part in the Sicilian campaign in 1297, and Huguet II, who paid homage to James II in 1312 for his castles, including those of Finestres and Santa Pau.

Later, in the 15th century, the ownership of the barony was in the hands of the Oms family. The first baron of Santa Pau of this lineage was probably Berenguer V, who also held the barony of Montesquiu and was the constable of Cotlliure, among other titles.

From then on, the Oms lineage adopted the addition "de Santa Pau". The first to do so was Berenguer's son, Guillem I d'Oms de Santa Pau, who died in 1517. Later, when he joined the Sentmenat family, the barony of Santa Pau remained in the hands of the marquises of Castelldosrius.

Currently, the noble title is held by a descendant of the Sentmenat family, the fashion designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada y Sentmenat, who occupies the 29th position in the list of holders of the Garrotxan barony. However, the castle no longer belongs to the family, who had it in disuse.

Juan Santapau is a cartoonist from Chile who posts short comics under the banner of The Secret Knots. You can also find them on Webtoon, Tapas and Globalcomix. His latest is titled “How We Forgot Ursulla Miller,” and it’s about “vampires, celebrities and a possible way back to some peace of mind.” (I’m also a big fan of “The Unseen,” but all of his comics are worth checking out).

This comic by Juan Santapau is good. It is beautifully illustrated and targets my love/fear of the unknowable like a sharpshooter. His other work can be found @santapau or at https://thesecretknots.com

a bit of a blog rebrand, courtesy of @santapau ‘s patreon rewards portraits! I’m starting teaching high school this year, so my studyblr will remain lightly active, with a slight shift in content. cheers!

considering how "kodak" almost became the word interchangeable for photos in similar way as "band-aid" is for sticky bandages....

I am much more curious if our good friend Jonathan had to figure out a darkroom, or if he brought the bottles of chems.....u know, boring development stuff!

our pal Jonathan casually dropping that he owns a Kodak camera is the biggest jumpscare in Dracula I did Not realize Kodak was that old 💀

I can not begin to thank and praise @santapau ‘s work! Not only is it just the best but their skill at capturing the subject is perfect. My Call of Cthulhu players have already started gushing over their custom portraits.

#beans#santapau#fesols Health Benefit: 1.Beans can prevent heart disease Studies have shown that people who eat more legumes have a lower risk of heart disease, and the phytochemicals found in beans might be partially to thank, since they protect against it. ////////////// 2. Can fight cancer Beans contain a wide range of cancer-fighting plant chemicals, specifically, isoflavones and phytosterols which are associated with reduced cancer risk. 3.Beans provide the body with soluble fiber, which plays an important role in controlling blood cholesterol levels. Studies find that about 10 grams of soluble fiber a day—the amount in 1/2 to 1 1/2 cups of navy beans—reduces LDL cholesterol by about 10 percent. Beans also contain saponins and phytosterols, which help lower cholesterol. ////////////////::::::/::::/::::: 4.Beans can help you lose weight A serving of beans will help you feel full more quickly, because the rich fiber content fills your stomach and causes a slower rise in blood sugar. That should stave off hunger longer and give you a steady supply of energy. 5. Beans can help manage diabetes (en Cal Sastre Santa Pau)
