An itinerary that takes us to discover some of the most historic places in Vilablareix. Following the river Marroc (Masrocs or Marrocs) we find the remains of the Vilablareix mill. Further on, you come out into a large clearing where there is the hermitage of Sant Roc, a small chapel dating from 1435 that was restored in 2002. The Sant Roc mountain (194 m) is the highest point in Vilablareix.

Continuing along the route, you will come across the Torratxa (also called Torre dels Moros), a funerary monument from Roman times, made of volcanic earth, sand, lime, stone, tiles and pieces of pottery. Further on we can also see the church of Sant Menna, where the remains of a Roman villa can be seen.
