Granollers is now a bustling business centre, having grown from a town dominated by Catalonia's textile industry that was prominent during the 19th Century. However, in the southern portion of the municipality, thePalou area retains the agricultural characteristics of the past.[4]
La Porxada, is aRenaissance building which served as a grain storehouse, emblematic of the town. On Corró street, there is the ancient hospital of Sant Domènec, now the Francesc Tarafa theatre, a good example of restoredGothic architecture. The church of Sant Esteve in the city centre also contains Gothic elements from the 15th Century, along with an octagonal tower.[4]
