The Walled House

Monument · Banyeres del Penedès, Baix Penedès, Tarragona

La Casa Murada is a 13th-century manor house with Gothic and Renaissance elements located in Banyeres del Penedès, beside the Papiolet stream, declared a Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection). It covers about 600 m² and features a square defensive tower, wider at the base, with two pointed-arch windows arranged irregularly; to its left stands a small crenellated tower. It is built of rammed earth, with a voussoired semicircular gateway and openings in the Gothic-Renaissance tradition, and also has a cellar and an 18th-century chapel. In 2007 the musician Jesús Rovira, of Lax'n'Busto, converted the farmhouse into a recording studio, and since 2011 it has housed the Tots Sants audiovisual project.
