Castells are human towers built by successive layers of people (castellers) who come together to create vertical structures, a collective challenge that defies the very rules of gravity. It is a type of human architecture declared by UNESCO as a Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, and can be seen in performances and competitions held as part of the festivals on the casteller calendar. The castellers \u2013the men, women and children who build human towers\u2013 compete with technical skill. However, the magic of the human towers is largely found in the difficulty, anticipation and unpredictability involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
