The Torre del Veguer is a fortified house of medieval origin, located in the municipality of Sant Pere de Ribes.

Its history begins in 1318, when Guillem de Cortei bought the estate, which would become known as Quadra d'Escortei. In the year 1400, the monastery of Sant Jeroni de Montoliver was founded in this place, but years later the monks abandoned it and the house passed into the hands of Gaspar d'Avinyó. In 1601, a descendant of Gaspar d'Avinyó bequeathed the property to his daughter, who married a native of Vilafranca del Penedès, and from this moment on it was called Torre del Veguer, probably because the man from Vilafranca held the position of "veguer." "(representative of the Count of Barcelona in Penedès).

In 1883 the property was acquired by Josep Ferrer i Vidal, who carried out important renovations, following aesthetic guidelines inspired by medieval architecture, preserving original elements such as the semicircular arch access door and the exterior buttresses, as well as semicircular arches. point and ogivals inside.
