El Barrio de la Vila, the urban origin of the municipality, preserves multiple remains of walls, towers and fortifications that show the defensive character of the area. In the area closest to the river Clariano, can be found remains of a containment wall, as well as chimneys belonging to former factories and mills that used water as a power source. The charm of El Barrio is in the small alleys, ramps and atzucacs or blind alleys that, along with the period buildings, both noble and popular contribute an intimate and special beauty to the area.
