This sculpture is dedicated to the human towers that are made every October in Valls by different groups.

Very impressive, especially as the figure shows a custom typical for the region. I found the faces and tension of the people particularly interesting.

Good ramps with good pavement. It climbs well and is worth it.

Great building, very well preserved. You can cross it at the top. It's definitely worth a visit 🤩

Super beautiful building. Very well preserved. Definitely worth a visit 🤩

The highly visible, tall bronze sculpture "Monumento a los Castellers" on the Rambla Nova depicts so-called "people's towers," here on six levels. Castellers are a traditional Catalan cultural phenomenon in which human towers are built. These towers are constructed by a group of individuals who work together in a coordinated manner to create intricate and impressive structures. The tradition dates back over two centuries. It is deeply rooted in Catalan identity and emphasizes the spirit of community. This sculpture consists of over 120 bronze figures. They represent people who participate in Casteller competitions. One hundred figures alone form the lower, ground-level support structure, while the others are located on five levels above.

The hermitage of Sant Pere has been redone on several occasions due to its poor state of preservation. The original hermitage dates from the middle of the 13th century, it was of Romanesque style and of larger dimensions. In addition, it was accompanied by an annexed house where the hermits and the donated lived, who were responsible for the maintenance of the cult and the lands attached to the hermitage. One of the most important reforms was that of 1588, under the supervision of Pere Blai (1553-1620) and which, according to some authors, would follow the Renaissance traces typical of the time. Finally, the last intervention took place throughout the 19th century and ended in the 1870s. The privileged position of the hermitage as a viewpoint of the Camp and first bastion of the mountains of the Sierra de la Mussara has been a determining factor for some military campaigns. During the French War (1808-1814), the Napoleons occupied the hermitage and adapted it to wartime needs. They had loopholes and parapets built there in order to defend themselves from attacks. However, the French were not the only ones to occupy the chapel militarily. During the First Carline War (1833-1840), clashes continued to occur between the supporters of Isabel II (1830-1904) and Charles V (1788-1855)

From the street of William J. Bryan, which connects the beach with the historic center and upper area of Tarragona, you have a privileged view of the amphitheater of Tarraco, ruins of the Roman town.
