Convent for the needy
A man known as Father Palau lived in this area towards the end of the 19th century. He was Francesc Palau i Quer, a friar who professed charity among the sick and the deprived people, and who went on to establish the Discalced Carmelites order. This father, who showed a special interest in exorcism, assembled the faithful penitents at the Convent of Santa Creu de Vallarca, or The Penitents Convent, where worshippers and sick people came in search of spiritual succour.
