MONUMENTS AND PLACES OF
INTEREST
SANT JOAN BAPTISTA'S PARROCHIAL CHURCH - They
started to built it in 1510 and in the XVIII century the building was
reconstructed following the neoclassic lines style with a strong influence of
the baroque. The octagonal tower of the bell tower borns from a squared base,
where the large fortified tower juts out and crowns with a cupola. On the
outside right wall of the church we can appreciate the ruins of the castle.
COOPERATIVE FARMING OF SANT ISIDRE - The
trade union farming was founded in 1915. It keeps on elaborating and marketing
wines and cava (catalan champagne) of a very high quality. The modernist
building that takes in the cooperative is one of the main works of Cèsar
Martinell, architect that marked a singular style based in the influence of the
Art Nouveau and the austerity of Noucentisme realized in different wines cellars
and cooperatives of the area. The outer facade combines the obra vista with
worked stone and dry stone walls, integrating the building in the constructive
tradition of the town. The inner naves are formed by arcs that maintain with
much force and originality the structure of the building.
