The Turó d'Onofre Arnau, an isolated hill which rises to an altitude of 131 metres and which is located close to Mataró. An eleventh-century fortification on the summit of this hill - the "Castell de Mata" - may have given its name to that of Mataró. The castle has since disappeared almost completely. The hill overlooks fields and greenhouses where fruit and vegetables are cultivated.
