Coat of Arms of Can Traver

Monument · Maià de Montcal, Garrotxa, Girona

Heraldic coat of arms in relief above the main door of the Mas Llorenç de Can Traver, the main farmhouse of the Can Traver neighbourhood, in Maià de Montcal, a large rectangular manor house with broad four-sided roofs. Below the lintel inscription, DON JOAN DE TRAVER Y LLORENS 1803, the coat of arms is oval in shape with three diagonal bars crossed by a fourth perpendicular one, surrounded by the Latin motto TRINUS ET UNUS DEUS. The Traver family enlarged their old residence between the 17th and 18th centuries, taking advantage of the prosperity of the Catalan countryside at the time, joining the new building to the old one at first-floor level. It is listed as a Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (BCIN 3941-MH, Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection), and the Mas Llorenç estate as a whole as a bien cultural de interés local (a local-level heritage protection status).
