Santa Margarida de Montbui
Village
Santa Margarida de Montbui is a municipality in the comarca of l'Anoia, in the province of Barcelona, conurbated with Igualada, with which it borders to the north, and with views from the Tossa crag, its highest mountain, over the Anoia basin. Flint remains found in the municipality show human presence since the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, and in Iberian times Lacetanian settlers established themselves there, trading with Greeks and Punics. The Romans built a rural villa with hypocaust heating in the old quarter, and the name Montbuy is documented in a bill of sale from the year 936. In the 11th century the castle of La Tossa and the church of Santa María were built, around which grew the settlement known in 1166 as Santa Coloma de Montbuy.
