The Torre del Governador is a building in the municipality of Alella (Maresme) that is part of the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Catalonia.
Mas Torrella was originally located here from the 14th century. In 1890 the property passed into the hands of Antoni Borrell i Folch, the governor of Catalonia, who commissioned the architect General Guitart i Lostaló to construct the current building. For this reason the building is also called the “Governor’s Tower”.

For years, the estate functioned as a small, self-sufficient world: orchards, its own water supply, and internal paths designed to avoid ever venturing into the town. This isolation explains its strategic location and the eerie silence that still lingers there today.
