The Sant Miquel Castle of Escornalbou dates from the late 12th
to the early 13th century. Alfons I commissioned its construction,
and gave it to the church of Tarragona.
The Samà Parc is located between Cambrils and Montbrió
del Camp, at 90 m above sea level, at 5 km far from the coast
line and between the stream of Alforja and Riudecanyes.
Salvador Samà i Torrens, the Marquees of Marianao,
was the builder and developer.
Pera Mata institution was originally a hospital and it is still
used as such today. It consists of historical monuments and
it is considered to be a precedent, comparable to Santa Creu
i Santa Pau Hospital.
Casa Navàs is, indeed, the most emblematic Art Nouveau
building in Reus. It is knows as "la guapa del Mercadal"
(the beatiful house at Mercadal square). It was commissioned
by Joaquim Navàs and Pepa Blasco to Lluís Domènech
i Montaner in 1902, with no budget restriction.
The old hermitage, dedicated to Siant Bartomeu, dates from XII
century. It was romanesque, despite the fact that it is said
that the hermitage has a no clearly-defined style. Unfortunately,
it collapsed in 1903 and it was rebuilt in an Art Nouveau style,
a bit shocking but following the style of that period.
The Mare de Déu de l'Abellera hermitage dates from 1570.
The building is embedded in a 1020 metre high escarpment and
uses a cave, which had been a shelter.
