Step inside Balldovina Tower Museum, a Catalan monument with tales that span centuries.

The **Balldovina Tower Museum** (Catalan: Museu Torre Balldovina) of Santa Coloma de Gramenet in Catalonia, Spain, is a local pluridisciplinary museum housing the cultural and natural heritage of the territory. The museum, which is part of the Barcelona Provincial Council Local Museum Network, looks after its own collections.

Among the collections at the Balldovina Tower Museum, Iberian archaeological materials from the Puig Castellar and Can Calvet settlements, medieval materials from the En Ribé mill (a 14th-century flour mill) and Mas Fonollar, and artefacts from agricultural life in rural Santa Coloma are notable. The museum was first opened to the public after being purchased by the town council in 1972.
