Castellers de Vilafranca

[1] Rossell was responding to the increased interest in human tower building in Vilafranca del Penedès, a Catalan tradition that has evolved since the 18th century "Ball de Valencians", a dance from Valencia.

In 1975, the group underwent an internal restructure, moving away from the almost-exclusive leadership of the cap de colla, to consensual team management of the technical side of tower-building.

You will find below the detailed list of human constructions and the date in which they were topped or dismantled for the first time : Cal Figarot is the group's headquarters.

The neogothic-style building, built by August Font de Carreres at the end of the 19th century, was acquired in 1983.

Countries where the Castellers de Vliafranca have performed include France, Italy, Luxembourg, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Chile,[11] India,[12][13] and New York City.

They performed in the Universal Exposition Seville'92 (1992), during the Catalonia day and in Brussels, Belgium (2010) supporting the nomination of Castells to UNESCO Heritage.

[9] The Castellers de Vilafranca also performed in the opening ceremony of the XXV Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992.
