Mas de Vinyoles

Monument · Cava, Alt Urgell, Lleida

Image of Cava, not of the place itself.

The Mas de Vinyoles is a fortified house of Romanesque character, from the 13th century, enlarged and remodelled for defensive purposes at the end of the Middle Ages before becoming a farmhouse. Today it is abandoned but in reasonable condition; it consists of the fortified dwelling proper and the outbuildings typical of a Pyrenean agricultural holding around it, covered with a two-pitched roof. In 1575 it is documented as 'Mas de Carcolze' in marriage settlements of Cal Saurina d'Ansovell. It stands next to the church of Sant Cristòfol de Vinyoles, in the municipality of Cava.
