History: From Medieval Mansion to the Heart of Grand Celebrations
The history of El Roquer dates back to 1313. Over the centuries, the estate expanded under the Roquer family, later passing to the Garolera family. It served as a refuge during the Civil War and was the setting for acts of solidarity, hosting displaced youth.
In the mid-20th century, the building underwent a comprehensive restoration, resulting in the current mansion. Highlights include the original Catalan vaults, the family crest, the grand staircase, the sundial, and the sgraffiti on the facade, as well as the legendary Napoleonic cannons at the entrance.
The Garden: A Living Ecosystem with Over 200 Species
El Roquer’s dendrological garden, spanning over two hectares, hosts a renowned international botanical collection. Species from all five continents coexist here: the monumental magnolia (the largest in Europe), palm trees, araucarias, camellias, ponds, and dreamy corners. The monumental magnolia area, the panoramic pool, and the camellia avenue are just some of these magical spaces.
