What to see in Ròtova

Ròtova’s fascinating past has left its mark, evident in the ruins of Borró Castle, the Muslim fortress and the Roman villa of Sort. In the town centre you can find traditional ceramic panels, such as those on the façade of the 18th century parish church, dedicated to Saint Bartholomé Apóstol and in neoclassical style.

The most striking building is the 17th-century Condes House, which still preserves some of its original architectural features, such as the battlements and the spectacular staircase, which is well worth visiting. And see if you can spot the counts’ coat of arms!

A great plan in Ròtova is to walk along one of its trails in your comfiest pair of trainers. We recommend the short and easy PR-CV 100 route which will take you to the castle and along the Blan, Llibrell and Les Galeries ravines and then on to Penya Roja. Don’t miss the idyllic natural pools as you walk!
