Introduction
To our right, on the opposite side of the vall de les Canals, stands the Ca n’Amat farmhouse and the chapel of the Mare de Déu de la Salut. Through the trees, parts of the buildings can be seen, with the Rocabruna hill behind them. In the Middle Ages, this mas was known as Coll d’Arla (1282).
Ca n’Amat is a farmhouse in the municipality of Gavà, listed in the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. The complex includes the farmhouse, the chapel and a former holiday colony building.
The main building stands out: a rectangular structure with three levels—ground floor, first floor and attic. The main façade has a symmetrical layout and is decorated with a sundial and geometric sgraffito. The lintel of the entrance door bears the inscription “Joan Amat i Ros, 1741”. Particularly noteworthy is the gallery of small semicircular arches in the attic.
