Forna has managed to preserve its architectural and cultural heritage, maintaining the charm of an authentic Moorish hamlet.

The route begins from the parking area, where the visitor is welcomed by some conical structures that belonged to one of the four olive oil mills that existed in the past, similar to the one at the next stop: Casa de La Roda. It is called this way because the master of carts used to live here, as seen in the details of the windows.

Heading to the right down some stairs, the route reaches the square called Plaça de La Quintana. On the left is Casa Ángel, which used to be a tavern. Just in front of the visitor is Casa de Vacances (or house of vacations) of the rectors and nuns in the 19th and 20th centuries. Continuing along Carrer de La Quintana, one can observe Casa Vida (where the midwife lived) and the building next to the church, which served as the Town Hall and the village's prison.

In the square, the Church of Sant Bernat Abat, dating back to the 16th century, stands out. During times of war, it served as a vegetable market and a school. On the right is Casa de La Baronia, which once served as the feudal lord's house. On the left is Casa Abadia, which was built over the fountain, covered with a vault which is more than two centuries old.

Going down through the square, the tour reaches the washing place, which, as an interesting curiosity, is located inside the village (typically, they were located outside the settlements).

Continuing to the left, passing the medical centre, one arrives at Carrer Perera, which is paved and adorned with flowers. Once at the top, one can admire the mediaeval castle dating back to the 13th century, standing on the highest part of the hill. Afterwards, return through the same street to the square and back to the parking area.
