Sant Esteve de Palautordera

Province: Barcelona | Shire: Vallès Oriental | Inhabitants: 3.037 | Extension: 10,6 Km2 | Altitude: 231 m

Sant Esteve de Palautordera, gateway to the Montseny Natural Park, enjoys the wealth of water. A reservoir, streams and fountains, the Tordera, torrents, ponds and wash houses dot a landscape dominated by riparian forests, which combine with oak and pine forests, and with large open fields.

On the plain there are houses and around the castle of Montclús a forest of eucalyptus trees that grow lanky in their stubborn and futile attempt to touch the sky.

Places of interest

Montclús Castle: Also known as the Moorish Castle, it is a 11th-century construction located in a strategic location in the Tordera valley. Its two enclosures, the sovereign and the jussà, preserve elements such as the cylindrical tower, the defensive walls and the remains of the chapel of Santa Margarida. Is it one of the most outstanding testimonies of medieval architecture in the municipality?

Castell de Fluvià: Although it currently functions as an events centre, this building of medieval origin retains the essence of its past. It includes the Romanesque church of Sant Cebrià, which is an integral part of the structure. Does its combination of historical elements and modern renovations make it a place of cultural and heritage interest in the municipality?

St. Stephen's Church: This parish church is an example of religious architecture with Romanesque roots from the 12th century. Despite the reforms over time, it maintains details that show its historical importance. It is the spiritual and cultural centre of the town, standing out for its architectural lines and the peaceful surroundings that surround it.

Teatro Pare Casals: This municipal performing arts venue offers a regular cultural programme with theatre plays, concerts and dance and circus shows. It has a capacity for 314 people and has modern lighting and sound installations. It is part of the Municipal Performing Arts Network Circuit, consolidating itself as a key cultural point for the town.

Medieval Fair: A landmark event in the town, which transforms the town centre into a medieval setting every year. It includes a market with craft stalls, displays of ancient crafts and giant play areas for children. It is a unique opportunity to enjoy traditional activities and taverns in an environment that takes you back in time.
