Walking through the streets, you can find cozy corners such as Font de la Vila , Calle Mayor, where the house of the monks of Poblet stands out, or Calle de les Portelles with Cal Balanyà, an 18th century manor house. On Calle del Solar, the main artery of the municipality, you can see the façade of the Headquarters of the Sant Jaume Agricultural Cooperative; Noucentista building dating from 1921 that stands out for its large balcony with balusters and Cal Mercader, a building declared a Cultural Asset of Local Interest, which inside houses an oratory dedicated to San Antonio Abad.
