Nucli de Mas de Bondia
Nucli de Mas de Bondia, Medieval fortified settlement in Montornès de Segarra, Spain.
Description
Nucli de Mas de Bondia is a medieval fortified settlement featuring tightly packed houses arranged along a single enclosed street called Portal. A single eastern gateway provides the only access point into this defensive layout, where residences double as protective barriers.
History
The settlement began as a single farmhouse in the 12th century and expanded into a fortified community during the 16th century with a structured layout of two house rows. This growth reflects changing defensive needs as the region became more populated.
Culture
The parish church of Sant Bartomeu stands at the heart of the settlement and serves as a gathering point with its rounded arch entrance and working clock. The religious building anchors community life and helps visitors navigate through the narrow streets.
Practical
The settlement sits at 504 meters elevation with narrow passages that require unhurried exploration on foot. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, and visitors should allow time to examine architectural details and decorative stone elements visible on house facades.
Did you know?
Several houses display decorative stone elements, with Cal Narcís Vell featuring two medieval coats of arms flanking a narrow window. These carved details suggest that wealthier families once lived here and marked their status through stonework.
