Jafre, Cultural heritage site in Olivella, Spain.
The settlement sits atop a hill at 189 meters elevation, containing remnants of the baron's house, tenant farmers' residence, and Santa Maria de Jafre Church.
The location, documented since 1139, derives its name from the Arabic Ğā'far and received its first reference to Castle of Jafre in 1332.
Santa Maria de Jafre Church features a single rectangular nave measuring 18 meters long and 8 meters wide with limestone blocks forming the entrance.
The Barcelona Provincial Council acquired the 214-hectare property in 1997 and initiated improvements to protect access to the church and abandoned houses.
The last inhabitants left in 1964, and the remains from the cemetery were transferred to the municipal cemetery of Olivella during the 1960s.
