Can Puig de la Bellacasa

Monument · Banyoles, Pla de l'Estany, Girona

Catalan manor farmhouse of the 13th century situated in Banyoles, included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. It was the birthplace of the Puig de la Bellacasa family, mentioned since the year 1300 among the illustrious people of Banyoles, and stands on a small rise. During the Peninsular War, in 1812, it became Fort Beurmann. Since the year 2000 it has been the seat of the Pla de l'Estany County Council. At the foot of the hill, on the rear façade, stands the fountain of Can Puig, with a wash-house and a water mine; beside the farmhouse runs the Puig de la Bellacasa promenade, dedicated to Lluís Puig de la Bellacasa i Déu, a Barcelona politician and lawyer (1886-1960) and member of the owning family.
