The baron’s castle
Torre Baró was a neoclassical building located at the foot of the Ribes road where important people from other cities sometimes were received. It belonged to Sivatte and people say he wanted to build the castle between 1904 and 1910 for to make her daughter recover her health. However, she died, and the castle’s constructions was not finished. In 1989 the city council decided to renovate Torre Baró and a viewpoint was inaugurated.

| From the station one can walk to the already mentioned Torre Baró Castel that abuts on the Baró Mirador Tower, where there is an amazing view of the city. On your way, you can make your way across the Pla de Fornells park. Next to the subway station is the Renfe train station, from whence trains to Terrassa, Cerdanyola, Manresa and Vic take off. If one continues on the Vallbona Avenue—which is full of trees and that provides a grateful shadow in summer time—in the direction of the Casa de l’Aigua, you will be treated to fantastic views of the entire area of Besòs, in parallel with one of the highway in and out of the city. |
