    The Castell Vell de Olivella is an ancient castle, declared a cultural asset of national interest, documented since 992. Nowadays, only some remains of the walls are preserved, which seem to outline a trapezoidal plan.

    In the midst of the rubble of Olivella castle, and taking advantage of its stones, a mill was built in the 18th century, on the initiative of the parish priest of Olivella, which remained unfinished; a round tower can be seen.

    Very close to Olivella castle are the remains of the old Romanesque chapel of Sant Pere, the church was the old parish church of Olivella.
