Perched on top of the Serralada Litoral in Montornès del Vallés stands a tower. For years it was in ruins, dominating the landscape, haughty ... Now, after 140 years of neglect, 9 of research and restoration works, you can finally visit the first optical telegraphy tower that is recovered and museumized in all of Catalonia (and one of the few in Spain). The Telegraph Tower, as it is known, is a benchmark in the history of a communication technology that has been buried in time. The place has great value and interest both for the tower as a starting point for various hiking routes.
