Torre del Palau

The cylindrical stone tower rises 26.7 meters high with a base diameter of 7.5 meters, constructed from river stones and carved blocks.

First documented in 1016, the tower remains the last standing structure of a larger castle complex that was demolished in 1891.

The tower includes Gothic architectural elements from the 16th century, featuring a window on the first floor and other structures preserved at Vallparadís Castle.

Visitors access the tower through a modern metal staircase, as the original entrance was located 7 meters above ground level.

The tower's crown, added in the late 19th century by Lluís Muncunill, displays a brick merlon frieze above a cornice with blind arcades.
