Can Dardena

Monument · Gavà, Baix Llobregat, Barcelona

Can Dardena, in the district of Gavà, is a fortified casal from the 18th century with an earlier defensive tower, a courtyard and much-altered old features, already cited in the Cartulary of Sant Cugat del Vallès as “un manso de ipsa Sentiz”; in the 10th century la Sentiu was acquired by the monastery of Castelldefels, which granted a house that could be this one, and in 1332 the barony's register mentions the existence of a fortified house used as a residence for the castellans of Eramprunyà. It is a farmhouse with a ground floor and upper storey with an Arab-tile roof, an attached defensive tower with small openings and a white-tile sundial above the door. In its cellar, still in use, wine presses brought from Vilafranca were installed in the 19th century.
