Can Cabrer

Description

The doorway features a rounded arch and the entrance is divided into two areas, with a segmental arch that acts as a division between the two. Both are covered by a beamed ceiling. A segmental arch leads to the courtyard. At the back of the courtyard we find the staircase with a lintelled doorway on the first landing and a mullioned window to the right.

History

Over the course of the 17th and 18th centuries the Despuig family extended the house, known at that time as "Can Montenegro", by adding new rooms. The building is characterised by architectural elements from the 15th century ¿ such as the façade ¿ while the courtyard dates back to the 18th century.
