Without further information, it’s difficult to provide a precise description. However, I can provide some general information about the term “Castell” and its possible meanings in Spain.

This is a webcam showing Castell, located in Spain. A castell is a human tower built traditionally at festivals in Catalonia, the Balearic islands and the Valencian Community. At these festivals, several colles castelleres (teams that build towers) attempt to build and dismantle a tower’s structure. On November 16, 2010, castells were declared by UNESCO to be amongst the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
