Main points of interest

Church of San Antolí

Built in the Baroque style, some consider it the cathedral of the Baix Segre region because it is of unusual dimensions for a town of just over two thousand inhabitants.

Teresa Jornet's birthplace

It is the original house where she was born, which has been restored from top to bottom and is now a small museum explaining her life and what rural life was like when she lived in Aitona.

First asylum home in Catalonia

This former home, where the Little Sisters cared for the elderly, was partially demolished and the rest restored as a house museum, incorporating original features from its time as a nursing home. The space that had been the chapel was filled with a work of art based on original quotes from the saint.

Father Palau Cave

Located on the outskirts of the village, this is the cave where the blessed man retreated to live as a hermit and find inner peace. Around it, an altar, a park, a house with ten cells for spiritual retreats, an oratory, and a multipurpose room have been developed.

Father Palau's Birthplace

Original objects that belonged to or were made by the Blessed, as well as family heirlooms, are preserved. A stone coat of arms representing the congregation is displayed on the facade.

Viewpoint of San Joan de Carratala

At the top of the hill that houses the hermitage of San Juan de Carratalà, you can find a spectacular viewpoint that allows you to glimpse fantastic panoramic views of the Segre valley and is especially attractive during the flowering of the peach trees and in autumn, when the leaves turn golden.

San Joan de Carratala

The Romanesque hermitage of Sant Joan de Carratalà, with its semicircular apse, is a Hospitaller construction. It is believed to have been built on the site of a former mosque.
