Become one of the most emblematic symbols of Nou Barris, the Castell de Torre Baró is located between the neighborhoods of Roquetes and Torre Baró. The name of Torre Baró actually comes from another tower, currently missing, which was located where the metro station is today, and which was the residence of the Baron de Pinós until in 1714, as a result of the War of Succession, it was destroyed.

Despite its medieval appearance, the Castell de Torre Baró, which dominates the neighbourhood, is a construction from the beginning of the 20th century. It was built as a project to create a hotel that would be the center of an urbanization in the area, but in the end the urban plan did not work and it ended up abandoned without having finished the works. Finally, in 1989 it was restored and declared historical heritage by the Barcelona City Council, and a magnificent viewpoint was built around it.

It is currently an information and environmental education point in the Collserola park. Among other activities, guided tours of the castle, itineraries to discover the surroundings and educational workshops for all audiences are offered. It is one of the best viewpoints in Barcelona, from which you can see Nou Barris, Horta, Sant Andreu, Sant Martí and, beyond, the Besòs river and the Collserola buttresses, with the towns of Santa Coloma, Sant Adrià and Badalona .

A hard route requires mountain footwear and good physical shape, don't even think about doing it without carrying at least 1 liter of water, you will not find sources on the way, you only depend on the water you carry.
