Mas Soler

Monument · la Pobla de Montornès, Tarragonès, Tarragona

A farmhouse documented since 1616, though much altered, the nucleus of the housing development that surrounds it today and also known as Castell de Montornès. Structured around a large central tower -the most striking element of the façade, with a curved, open crowning, two watch turrets and several loopholes, added along with the false battlements in the 19th century- on either side of which the main body of the building develops. The doorway, of ashlar with a voussoired round arch, is slightly shifted to the left relative to the tower; in the inner courtyard the date “1797” of another renovation is preserved. Today it is a municipal facility, the “Mas Solé” Civic Centre for the elderly, in the housing development that bears its name. Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection).
