Discover Granyanella, spending a few days in a holiday cottage
Historically, the origin of the nucleus lies in the town's castle, documented in 1143, when the
Count of Barcelona needed to control the course of the Ondara River. Currently, there are not many remains of the primitive castle, but the
Parish Church of Sant Salvador , of Romanesque origin, located next to the cemetery and outside the gated community, stands out. The temple is from the year 1112, but was reformed during the 18th century, a fact that can be seen in its facade and in the baroque style chapel. A characteristic element of Granyanella is that due to its status as a
closed village , the town has a street that goes all the way around the tossal where the castle was located and is entered through a portal.
