Camp-Redó: Medieval Heritage and Routes in the Ebro Delta

Camp-Redó offers several points of interest to help you plan your trip: medieval architecture, art in the church, and a circular route through the rural landscape of the Ebro Delta. If you are looking for a hotel in Camp-Redó, these themes can help you choose your destination. Access arrangements vary by location, particularly at Torre de Font de Quinto and Ermita de Solicrú.

Medieval buildings and their history

Casa del Prat was built in the mid-13th century. From there, the Comanador del Prat administered areas that were valuable for livestock farming. The building thus represents a specific aspect of administration at the time and the importance of livestock farming to the region.

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 town’s most representative elements of medieval cultural heritage. Together with Casa del Prat, it offers two different historical perspectives: Casa del Prat highlights the administration of livestock farming areas, while the Torre is connected to the Templar heritage.

Church art with local connections

The church in Campredó has stained-glass windows designed and made by Domènech Fita i Molat. It also houses a three-panel altarpiece by Joan Rebull. It depicts the Last Supper against the backdrop of Campredó’s Templar tower. The two artworks emphasize different aspects: the windows draw attention to color and artistic authorship, while the altarpiece stands out for its three-panel design, its subject, and the tower in the background.

Circular route and Ebro Delta landscape

The Torres de Campredó is a circular route from Torre de Fontdequinto to Ermita de Solicrú and a geodetic point overlooking the Ebro Delta. The final section runs through extensive rice fields, offering a view of the rural delta landscape. Both the stops along the route and the landscape at the end are defining features of this route.

Another option for finding your way is the Camí Natural de Tortosa, l’Aldea, Deltebre. This cycling corridor passes through the municipality of Campredó and provides signposted access to the Torre. The route descriptions offer different planning details: the Torres de Campredó focuses on the circular route, its stops, and the landscape; the Camí Natural describes its course through the municipality and the signposted access to the Torre.

Plan your visit and access

There are no regular, year-round free visiting hours for the interior of Torre de Font de Quinto. Visits generally focus on the exterior of the Torre and the information panels in the surrounding area. You should therefore not expect regular free access to the interior.

Ermita de Solicrú is located at Mas de la Missa on private property. Please respect the private nature of the grounds. The interior of the Ermita opens on certain occasions, particularly for the Diada de Solicrú; regular public access should not be assumed. The Diada has been celebrated as a gathering associated with the Ermita since 2002. If you would like to include the gathering in your travel plans, check the dates for the relevant year, as arrangements may vary.
