The history of Vilablareix and its surroundings

During the medieval period, Vilablareix was part of the County of Girona and was under the jurisdiction of the counts of Barcelona. In those days, the town was composed mainly of small agricultural holdings and a few scattered houses around a parish church. In the 14th century, Vilablareix experienced a period of growth and economic development, thanks to the expansion of agriculture and the production of wine, oil and cereals. During this time, several farmhouses and stately homes were built that are still preserved today.

Get to know its architectural heritage

If you spend a few days in Vilablareix, you cannot miss the following must-sees: First, the parish church of Santa Menna , documented in 882 but renovated in modern times. The arcades facing the square stand out from the church, forming a very typical and characteristic gallery of the district. It is also worth visiting the Torre dels Moros or the Torratxa , a Roman funerary monument located a few meters from the cemetery, which must have been the tomb of an important personage in Roman times. In Vilablareix, we also find several farmhouses of great architectural value that have been rehabilitated, such as Mas Marroch , a 15th-century farmhouse surrounded by gardens that has been converted into a space for celebrations at the Can Roca Cellar, or Can Gruart , a farmhouse from the XVII century which is currently a cultural center.
