Among its narrow, steep streets, the Raval district stands out with its Moorish layout and traditional houses. Monuments such as the Gothic-style Church of Santa María la Mayor and the Church of San Roque, with its Baroque dome, are emblems of the area’s rich architectural heritage.
Additionally, the Centelles Palace, a 16th-century Renaissance building, adds a touch of grandeur to the old town. The Town Hall Square is the heart of social and cultural life, where important local festivals such as Moors and Christians and Easter Week are celebrated, keeping the city’s traditions alive.
