Torre de Can Ratés

Can Ratés has a watchtower and shelter that was built by Bartomeu Poch next to his farmhouse in 1584. It is named after the Ratés family, who bought it in 1861.

The tower, with a circular floor plan, has a sloped base and retains the entire surround, with stepped battlements. It was connected with the house (farmhouse) on the first floor. The tower has recently been restored and now belongs to the borough. It is listed as a cultural asset of national interest.

The Torre de Can Ratés is in good state of conservation, and both the tower and the farmhouse and the magnificent gardens can be visited during business hours and on request. It is a venue for cultural events and meetings, such as the Magic Fair.
