Iglesia de Santa María de Cervelló

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Santa María de Cervelló is located below the ruins of Cervelló castle, south of the old town center.
It is a Romanesque building, with modifications. It has a single nave topped by a semicircular apse, with three niches with windows. The first section of the nave is occupied by a hemispherical dome, with a drum with windows. Externally, this element is represented by an octagonal lantern, where the non-existent bell tower would have been located. On the sides are the chapels added in the 16th century, which also alter the building externally.

Can Riera Caves

Highlight • Cave

Beautiful place with incredible views. Here are the caves of Can Riera, a hidden natural oasis in Torrelles de Llobregat. They are three clay caves with reddish and orange walls, shaped by the erosive action of wind and rain over thousands of years. On weekends there are usually a lot of people visiting the caves, so if you can, try to go during the week.
