VILLAGES OF MONTSENY
Built heritage
One of the main attractions of a visit to Montseny is the built heritage, witness to human presence since ancient times. The megalithic constructions of the Sierra de l'Arca are the oldest. From the Iberian era, the wall of the Montgrós mountain castle, in the Brull, is one of the most impressive elements of this period that can be found in Catalonia.
The Middle Ages are well represented by Romanesque examples of religious architecture, as well as by more than a dozen mountain temples.
We can highlight the parish churches of Montseny and Brull, or those of Móra, Sant Marçal, Sant Cristòfol de Castanya, Sant Martí del Montseny and Aiguafreda de Dalt, among others. The remains of military-type buildings are also very important, such as the castles of Montsoriu - dating from the Gothic period -, Montclús, Fluvià, Brull, Cruïlles, and the fortified farmhouses of Bellver or Sala. There are also complexes such as that of Tagamanent, both buildings from the Romanesque and Gothic periods, or that of Sant Segimon, an important hermitage from the 17th century. Despite this, the farmhouse is the most common architectural element in Montseny, which in some cases, such as that of Agustí, in Pla de la Calma, acquired the status of a large farmhouse.
