Parish church:

The city municipality purchased this building in the year 1982 from the previous owners Cabanyes Font family. This house is believed to have been built in the year 1877 by St Pere del Bosc. The building is a masterpiece work of architecture which deserves to be preserved as an example for the future generation. It is converted as a municipal museum.
