The Templar refuge or castle of Rourell, home of the Marquises of Vallgornera, is a well-preserved stately building. Supposedly originating in the 12th century (with a Templar past), it was rebuilt in the 17th century and, later, in the 19th century, it was reformed and given its current appearance. The crown windows (tall and narrow windows with a small column in the center between two arches) and the arched door stand out. Inside, the entrance, stables and courtyard show a noble origin.
