Chapel of Sant Gaietà

Monument · Castellterçol, Moianès, Barcelona

The Capella de Sant Gaietà, in Castellterçol (Moianès, Barcelona), preserves on its south wall a stone coat of arms declared a cultural asset of national interest, with a Latin inscription alluding to ice (“Fred, gel, glaç i neu, beneïu el Senyor”) and the arms of the Sala family. The slab probably comes from a 17th-century ice well located next to the font de la Vinyota, testimony to the importance of the ice trade in the area, and it was incorporated into the chapel around 1883, the year of its restoration.
