Tower of Ca l'Umbert

Monument · Montgat, Maresme, Barcelona

The Torre de Ca l'Umbert forms part of a three-wing farmhouse located on the Ronda del 8 de Març, in Montgat; the farmhouse, formerly called Mas Barral, retains the family line of its owners although it no longer bears their surname. The central wing, with a round-arched doorway and a double-pitched roof, has a ground floor and two upper storeys; adjoining it on the left is a large square block, with a single-pitched roof, which was possibly originally a watchtower, while on the other side there is another, lower wing, with a ground floor and one upper storey. All the openings, both in the house and in the tower, retain stone lintels, jambs and thresholds. The defence tower is declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest.
