Image of Esponellà, not of the place itself.

The mas Bofí is a fortified farmhouse of the 16th-17th centuries, situated on a slope facing northwest, in the municipality of Esponellà (Pla de l'Estany, Girona), documented since 1320. The main block, with a gabled roof, extends parallel to the contour lines; at its northeast corner a square tower is set in, projecting from the building, with a hip roof and openings shaped like arrow slits. The courtyard is reached through a baroque-style 18th-century portal with a triangular cornice, beneath which is a niche with a sculpture of Sant Narcís surrounded by glazed white and blue tiles arranged in a diamond pattern; according to the house's tradition, the building belonged to the confraternity of Sant Narcís of Girona. The tower has been repaired and the entrance tiles were replaced in the 20th century.
