Monument · Almatret, Segrià, Lleida

The Casa de la Torre, also called La Torre or Casa-Torre del Comte, is a fortified house on Plaça Mossèn Cinto in Almatret, in the Segrià (Lleida). Of vernacular architecture, it is linked to the marquisate of Aitona, whose first holder, Francesc de Montcada i de Cardona, died in 1594. It is a house between party walls forming the front of the square, with a ground floor, one upper floor and an attic: on the ground floor a voussoired arch doorway with a coat of arms opens, the first floor has three openings and a small balcony, and in the attic runs a gallery formed by two large segmental-arch openings. The interior has been renovated. It is declared Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection) (code BCIN 809-MH, BIC RI-51-0006229).
