Sant Andreu de la Barca
Village
Sant Andreu de la Barca is a municipality in the Llobregat valley, in the Baix Llobregat district and the province of Barcelona, part of the city's metropolitan area, between Martorell, Castellbisbal, Castellví de Rosanés and Corbera de Llobregat. Iberian and Roman remains have been found within its boundaries, and the first written reference to the village dates from 1109, when the sale of several farmhouses is documented. During the Middle Ages it formed part of the frontier with the Muslim world along the river Llobregat, protected by the nearby castle of Castellvell de Rosanes, and between 1305 and 1330 it appears under the name San Andrés de Matoses. The municipality today has two railway stations of the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat, on the Llobregat-Anoia line.
Church of Sant Andreu de la Barca
Monument
A parish documented since 1109, extended in 1581 -from this phase it retains three vault keystones and the baptismal font- and largely rebuilt in the last third of the 19th century in Historicist style, with ornamental elements drawing on the Romanesque and Classical traditions.
