A castell, in Catalunya, or Catalonia, Spain, is a human tower built traditionally in festivals at many locations within the region. Interest in castells began to grow in the 1960s and 1970s and during last 50 years the practice of building castells began to spread to the rest of Catalonia. In the 1980s, the inclusion of women in the formerly male-only discipline inaugurated the golden age of castells; the presence of women is credited with allowing castells to be built lighter and stronger, permitting the construction of previously undreamed-of 9 and 10-storey castells.
