l'Home Peak

Nature · Fogars de Montclús, Vallès Oriental, Barcelona

The Turó de l'Home is the highest peak of the Montseny massif, in the municipality of Fogars de Montclús (Vallès Oriental, Barcelona), at 1,706 metres in altitude, ahead of nearby peaks such as les Agudes and Matagalls. It is formed of phyllite and cornubianite and acts as the watershed line between the riera de Santa Fe and the river Tordera. An old meteorological observatory stands on its summit: the initiative, launched in 1881 by Artur Osona, stalled and was later taken up by Eduard Fontserè, until the wooden building, the work of architect Damià Ribas, was inaugurated in 1932. Manual observations ceased in 2003.
