Discover Vilada: Castles, Churches and Hiking Trails

Culture and History

Castell de Roset is a medieval ruin featuring the remains of its original tower and a cistern. Santa Magdalena de Guardiolans is a 17th-century chapel that was already mentioned in the year 839. The Església Sant Joan de Vilada has been documented since the year 903; only a few walls of the original 12th-century Romanesque building remain. The present-day Església Sant Joan de Vilada was created through 17th-century renovations in the rural Baroque style and has a nave with side chapels and a bell tower.

The Cercavila Gegantera was part of the programme of the Festa d’Estiu 2026 in Vilada. In the past, patients of Dr Soler recovering from chest ailments rested at the Pins del Metge while staying in contact with nature.
