It is important to mention that it has a particular attire. An attire that has an important puporse. Typically the castellers wear white trousers, a black sash (faixa), a bandana (mocador), and a shirt in a color characteristic of a given group or association, often bearing the team's emblem.

The sash (faixa) is the most important part of their outfit, since it supports the lower back and is used by other castellers in the team as a foothold or handhold when climbing up the tower.

The story of the Castellers is a very ancient one as it  was first documented in 1712. It was also originated in the Ball dels Valencians (a Valencian Dance) in Valls, near the city of Tarragona. Then, the practice of building castells began to spread to the rest of Catalonia in the 18th century. It spread to other towns and cities in the area.

However it wasnt until the 1980s when you could start seeing women in this formation of men. As before, it was male-only discipline. The inclusion of women allowed to built lighter and stronger castellets.
