Holiday cottages in Argentera

The Romans were the first to leave their mark on Argentera. The first written documentation about the town dates from the 12th century. Throughout its history it has been under the domain of the Escaladei charter or the barony of Escornalbou. One of the buildings that you cannot miss is the church of Sant Bartomeu. It was built in 1750 and its facade is in the Baroque style. Unfortunately, during the Civil War, his altarpiece was lost.

The Serra d'Argentera offers you the opportunity to make numerous excursions where you can see places of great natural value. Some of the points you can visit are Enderrocada or Morral Blanc . The sources are also very important in Argentera. Don't miss seeing the font Vella or the font del Ferro.

Eduard Toda was a diplomat who lived in the castle of Escornalbou. During the first half of the 20th century, he dedicated himself to restoring part of l'Argentera town centre. Some of the most outstanding buildings of his work are the Cabrer house, the schools and the new cemetery. In recognition of his work, the town dedicated a monument to him.

If you like the world of railways, you must visit the Torreta tunnel. This construction dates from the end of the 19th century and is just over four kilometers long. In fact, until 1957 it was the longest in the Iberian Peninsula.
