Jafre, an ancient hamlet atop a 189-meter hill, now stands abandoned. The remnants include the Baron of Jafra's residence, the farmhouse, and the Church of Santa Maria de Jafre, along with its rectory, dating back to the early 14th century. Documented since 1139, Jafre received significant attention in the 17th century when the Barons sought to rejuvenate the village, appointing a mayor in 1683 and restoring the church. In 1819, Jafre became part of Olivella due to parish ties. Traditionally focused on firewood and pastures, vine cultivation thrived until the phylloxera epidemic (1879-1880) led to gradual abandonment. As of 1960, Jafre was left with 19 inhabitants.
The Gavà Archaeological Museum, established in 1978, showcases the rich archaeological heritage of the Garraf region, featuring the Prehistoric Mines of Gavà and the cave of Sant Sadurní. With a focus on research, conservation, and heritage dissemination, the museum provides a fascinating journey through millions of years of landscape history.
