POINT OF INTEREST

The Convent Tower

Raval, 46, Hostalric

Occupying a corner of the former Convent of the Minim Friars (the present-day town hall), this circular 17th-century tower is split into two floors and is shorter than the other towers of the wall.

It was extensively refurbished at the end of the 20th century and houses a temporary exhibition room dedicated to the photographer Benet Frigola i Arnau (Hostalric, 1893-1972).
