Houses the Sant Boi de Llobregat Museum since 26 March 2011, Can Barraquer is a 14th-century manor house in which Rafael Casanova, the last Conseller en cap, or head minister, of the Consell de Cent (Council of One Hundred) of Barcelona, lived and died.

Roman baths
The Roman baths of Sant Boi are the best-preserved private baths from this time period in Catalonia. They were built towards the end of the 2nd century, during a period of economic splendour in the Llobregat valley, and the bathhouse was fully functional until the 5th century. They were unearthed in 1953 and opened as a museum in 1998.
Benviure tower
The Benviure tower is a Romanesque circular defence tower with walls nearly 2 metres thick; various excavation campaigns have uncovered remains from Iberian and Medieval times. The monument was recently restored and guided visits are given.
