Introduction

This farmhouse in the municipality of Cadaqués is included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia.

It is a farmhouse formed of several separate buildings and was constructed on top of the geological rock of the area.

A few metres to the southwest there is another building originally used as a haybarn or storeroom. Between this and the main house there is a large threshing floor which combines the stone paving with the geological substrate of the area. To the east, on the other side of the road, are the remains of other buildings belonging to the ruined farmhouse.

Notable is the decorative, iron motif, located at one end of the tile ridge, which, according to popular tradition, was used to frighten the witches and the evil spirits.
