The Puig de la Balma is a “Historical-Cultural Complex of Agrotourism”. This conglomerate of buildings (which has been growing since the original 12th century building completely built on the rock), has become an important testimony to Catalan rural life and to the different episodes in the country's history. Various chroniclers and documentary filmmakers have been interested in its heritage interest, as well as several filmmakers who have shot scenes from historical films such as "Bruc" or "Pa negre". There is a small museum with endless agricultural tools and household items and it seems that time has not passed. Visitors also have various lodging possibilities.
