Torrassa

The lightning tower

It is one of the district of Hospitalet and it takes its name from a country estate of this area, which stands out because of the square-floor defensive tower that rises on one of its ends. It’s also known as Torre Llampada (the Lightning Tower), because of a lightning bolt that struck it many years back.
