Traditionally known as "Roques de la Vila", this unique geological formation was renamed the Chinese Wall of Finestres to encourage tourism in the area. You can access the foot of it by boat through the Canelles reservoir.

Before the tourist name of "Chinese Wall of Finestres" was popularized, this place was known as Roques de la Vila. The particular rock formation, originated in the Cretaceous, came to be used as a true defensive wall for the ruins found between the two parallel walls.
