Can Catà, 18th-century masia in Cerdanyola del Vallès, Spain
Description
Can Catà is an 18th-century stone building located in the valley of Feixes, representing traditional Catalan rural architecture with characteristic features of the period. The structure contains multiple sections from different periods, with additions and modifications that span from its original construction through the 20th century.
History
The land was originally recorded as mas Fàbrega in 1387 before taking its current form in 1723 under Josep Mas i Duran. The property changed hands in 1773 when Baron Ramon de Llordella acquired it, reflecting the shifts in local land ownership over time.
Culture

Practical
The property is situated in a rural valley setting that is best explored on foot, surrounded by open countryside. Since it holds protected status as a Cultural Asset of Catalonia, access may be restricted or require advance notice, so checking current visitor conditions beforehand is wise.
