Explore the ruins of the Torre d'en Vallès, a building protected as a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local in Vilanova i la Geltrú.

The Torre d'en Vallès is a building in Vilanova i la Geltrú protected as a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local. It currently stands in a ruined state.

The tower features a semi-circular floor with a slightly truncated-conical volume resting on a larger cylindrical base. Its load-bearing walls are constructed from small, irregular stones. Two rows of spitlets can be seen on the structure.

In 2017, the construction underwent a light restoration during the celebration of the Camp de Treball Internacional del Turó del Sèu-Ortoll. During this time, the building was cleared of wild vegetation and human waste that had been covering it.
