Introduction
The north façade of the building is the Town Hall, the starting point of the itinerary. The gardens cover just over 3,000 m². Their origin dates back to the late 19th century, when the Modolell family, then owners of the property, decided to create a romantic-style garden and pond. They are ornamented with various exotic tree species. Highlights include the xicranda monumental with blue-violet blooms and century-old Washingtònia palms, some of the tallest in the town.
The Torre del Baró, also called Torre d’en Viala, is a medieval fortification. Archaeologists found very old remains underground, the most important being the 10th-century building base.
The main visible fortification today is Gothic, 14th century (1350–1387), with earlier 10th-century antecedents and later renovations.
It was the residence of the lords of the town, the Burguès family. Its flat walls include loopholes, machicolations, and crenellations for defense, along with delicate decorative details such as the rose gavarrera in relief adorning one of the smallest windows of the main façade.
As with the Torre-roja, the outer walls are made of Eramprunyà red stone.
It is a compact building, square plan slightly trapezoidal, in the heart of Viladecans’ historic center. Today, it houses municipal offices, exhibition spaces, and administrative facilities
