Download date: 17/10/2024
The Masoveria de la Virreina is a voluminous three-storey building surrounded by gardens. It is all that remains of the Vicereine’s palace.

Cultural heritage
The only extant part of the old Virreina estate is the tenant farmer’s house, where the farm’s workers lived. If you find its size impressive today, imagine what the stately home must have been like in the past.
It was purchased at the end of the 19th century by a congregation of Dominican nuns who looked after the workers’ children during their work shifts. It later became the Religiosas de la Presentación College. These days it is devoted to the pastoral activities of Càritas.

De l'antiga finca de la Virreina, tan sols se'n conserva la masoveria. Es tracta d'un edifici de planta baixa i dos pisos envoltat de jardins on vivien els masovers encarregats de l'explotació agrícola.
