Rosanes

Monument · la Garriga, Vallès Oriental, Barcelona

Rosanes is a fortified manor house in the municipality of la Garriga, declared bien cultural de interés nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection), located on the right bank of the Congost river, next to la Garriga's industrial estate and near a former airfield; it now belongs to the Girbau family. It is a manor house from the 13th to the 17th centuries whose first documentary mention dates from 1217, although the Rosanes family is already recorded in the 10th century. In 1357 the castle was declared Carrer de Barcelona. Over the centuries it passed by inheritance and marriage to several noble Catalan families, among them the Masdovelles, the Foixà-Boixadors and the Desvalls, marquises of Poal, following a long lawsuit settled in 1755.
