Camp-Redó combines medieval buildings and religious art with a route through the rural landscape of the Ebro Delta. A stay here therefore focuses on both historical sites and a specific trail with views of the delta. The buildings offer insight into different aspects of local heritage; the route descriptions add landscape and orientation within the municipality to this perspective.
Medieval Traces and Religious Art
Casa del Prat was built in the mid-13th century. From there, the Comanador del Prat administered areas valuable for livestock farming. The historic building thus also connects its period of construction with the administration of land that was important for livestock farming.
The Torre de Font de Quinto was built in the Middle Ages, between the 13th and 14th centuries, and is associated with Campredó’s Templar heritage. It is one of the most representative elements of Campredó’s medieval cultural heritage. Casa del Prat and the Torre highlight different aspects of history: one is associated with the administration of land, the other is a medieval tower connected with Templar heritage.
The church of Campredó also contains notable works of art. Its stained-glass windows were designed and made by Domènech Fita i Molat. A triptych altarpiece by Joan Rebull depicts the Last Supper against the backdrop of Campredó’s Templar tower. The windows and the altarpiece differ in both form and subject: the glass panes add a splash of color, while the altarpiece depicts a scene connected with local history.
The Torre and Visitor Information
There are no regular, permanently scheduled free visiting hours for the interior of the Torre de Font de Quinto. A typical visit focuses on the exterior of the Torre and the information displays nearby. Therefore, if you are planning around regular visiting opportunities, include the Torre as an exterior sightseeing stop.
The Camí Natural de Tortosa, l’Aldea, Deltebre runs through the municipality of Campredó and provides signposted access to the Torre. This is another way to include the historic tower in your exploration of the area, without assuming that a visit inside is a fixed part of the itinerary.
Circular Route and Landscape in the Ebro Delta
The Torres de Campredó is a circular route from the Torre de Fontdequinto to the Ermita de Solicrú and a geodetic point with views of the Ebro Delta. It connects several named destinations and a viewpoint. The final section passes through extensive rice fields and offers a glimpse of the Ebro Delta’s rural landscape.
The different formats can help you choose a route: the Torres de Campredó is described as a circular route that includes the Ermita and the geodetic point. The Camí Natural crosses the municipality and provides signposted access to the Torre. This lets you choose between a loop with several named destinations and a trail whose described access to the tower is part of the route.
Ermita de Solicrú and the Diada
The Ermita de Solicrú is located at Mas de la Missa on private property; please respect the private nature of the property. Its interior opens on certain occasions, especially for the Diada de Solicrú. You should not expect regular access.
The Diada de Solicrú has been celebrated since 2002 as a gathering associated with the Ermita. Specific arrangements may vary from year to year. If you would like to include this occasion in your plans, check the dates in advance. This will help you distinguish the occasional opening of the interior from the rest of your route and landscape planning.
