Can Coll

Monument · Lliçà de Vall, Vallès Oriental, Barcelona

Can Coll is a fortified house of 3,340 m² built on a 20,000 m² estate in the municipality of Lliçà de Vall, declared bien cultural de interés nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection). The chapel of Sant Joan Baptista is documented since 1009, and the farmhouse is probably of the same period; the Coll family, owners since the 14th century, built the imposing watchtower in 1576, dating from the 16th century, beside the house. In 1765, with the marriage of the heiress Gertrudis Coll, the farmhouse was enlarged and transformed into a manor residence in the style of French palaces, with a noble hall decorated with paintings by the Italian A. Vertuchi. Used as a restaurant in the 20th century, the Town Council acquired the whole estate in 2017 to turn it into a house-museum.
