Poblat d'Olèrdola

The settlement stands on a 358-meter rocky platform on the western slopes of the Garraf massif, controlling views over the Penedès plain.

The first fortification emerged in the 9th century BC, followed by an Iberian settlement that modified previous defensive structures for residential purposes.

The medieval urban layout divided the space into three sections: the military zone with the castle, religious area with church, and residential district.

The entrance fee of 5 euros includes access to exhibitions and an audio guide, with reduced rates available for specific visitor categories.

A Roman-era cistern measuring 16.4 meters long remains intact, demonstrating advanced water management systems from multiple historical periods.
