Bràfim is an agricultural town related to the world of wine and, currently, to cherries. The importance of wine growing led to Bràfim building the parish church of Sant Jaume in the 17th century, with at least 3 spectacular attractions: the bed of the Verge Maria d’Agost, built in 1715 by the well-known Baroque sculptor, Isidre Espinal, from Sarral; the baroque organ from 1730, unique in the region, although it now needs a good restoration; and the majestic 18th century main altarpiece, built by an unknown artist, but known to have been gilded by the Valls artisan, Joan Guasch between 1794 and 1797.
The architect Cèsar Martinell designed the Town Hall building and provided it with a remarkable façade in the Noucentisme style. We recommend you walk through the town and visit Cal Garriga.
You can go for a walk to the top of Puig-rodó, next to the town, where you’ll find the 19th century Sanctuary de Loreto in the middle of a natural landscaped environment, notable for the fountain designed by the sculptor, Josep Maria Jujol. Inside the sanctuary, the image of the Verge del Loreto is preserved in her shrine. At the beginning of June, one of the oldest pilgrimages in the region and the Cherry Fair are held in Loreto.
For lovers of good vermouth, you can also visit and have a taste at the Padró & Co Vermouth Museum to complete the experience in Bràfim.
