Lo Parot, Monumental olive tree in Horta de Sant Joan, Spain.

The olive tree Lo Parot reaches a height of 8 meters and features a trunk measuring 7.45 meters in circumference at 1.3 meters from the ground.

This ancient olive tree stands near a former Roman road, with scientific studies suggesting an age of approximately one thousand years.

The name Lo Parot stems from local folklore, potentially derived from the word 'father,' as locals consider it the father of all olive trees.

Visitors can reach Lo Parot by taking the T-334 road toward Bot and Gandesa, then turning right after half a kilometer onto a path lined with olive groves.

The tree produces olives with a distinct genetic variety, featuring longer leaves and fruits compared to the common empeltre variety of the Terra Alta region.
