Valls: Architecture and Attractions

Valls is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture, with narrow, winding streets that lead visitors through centuries of history. The Plaça del Blat (Wheat Square) serves as the heart of the city, where visitors can admire the Casa de la Vila, the historic town hall. This square is also the traditional location for castells performances, adding a cultural flair to the architectural beauty of the city.

One of the most important architectural sites in Valls is the Església de Sant Joan, a stunning Gothic-style church that dominates the skyline with its towering bell tower. The church is a fine example of Catalan Gothic architecture and is one of the city’s most photographed landmarks. Other notable sites include the Capella del Roser, which is adorned with beautiful ceramic tiles depicting battles from the War of the Reapers.

For nature enthusiasts, the Molló de l’Era del Caterí offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can also explore the lush vineyards and olive groves around the city, many of which offer tours and tastings. The proximity to natural parks and coastal areas provides a wide range of outdoor activities, from hiking and biking to wine tours and beach excursions.
