The tower is 30 metres high. This tower has a lovely bell that can be heard from far away. On the base of the tower there is a fountain from 1800's called the tower of the hours and on March 1st there is a popular parade of Sant Medin and they through thousands of weets along the neighbourhood. The square is approximately 45X60 metres long. In the square there are a lot of bars and shops but also you can find typical cafes where old people go to play domino and on Sundays you can see people dance "Sardanes", a typical dance from Catalonia.
