Monument · la Morera de Montsant, Priorat, Tarragona

Image of la Morera de Montsant, not of the place itself.

An old house linked to the charterhouse of Escaladei, in la Morera de Montsant (Priorat), declared an asset of national cultural interest. It originally served as the dwelling of the monk responsible for tending the monastery's crops. The present building was erected from 1692 onward, making use of only a small stretch of wall from the earlier structures at its north-west corner. After the disentailment of 1836 it was sold, and between 1850 and 1880 it was renovated as the residence of a landowner from the village. It is a building of ground floor and two upper storeys, with a gabled roof and two balconies on the first floor facing the square, in a historicist style inspired by medieval defensive constructions, with battlements added in the 19th century that simulate fortifications.
