Places of interest
The Consolació hermitage is worth a visit. It is a Romanesque building dating from 12th century, although it was extended and modified over various centuries. It is to be found atop a hill, surrounded by vineyards  with marvellous views over the region.

The "Casa dels Frares" or "Friars' House" can be found on the main street (Carrer Major) which boasts a Renaissance doorway  and stone arch. On the same street, you can see the "Arc de Pedra" or "Stone Arch" which spans the street and is made of red sandstone.  It is believed that this was once one of the main access routes inside the village.  

The parish church of Sant Llorenç dates from the 18th century and is neoclassical in style with three naves, dome and bell-tower. 

The "Cooperativa Agrícola"  or La Vinícola del Priorat was founded in 1917 and groups various co-operatives of the surrounding villages of el Lloar, la Vilella Baixa i la Vilella Alta. The co-operative winery in Gratallops is currently open to visitors as well as some other private wineries in the village (please see timetables and conditions in Related content)
