Baronia d'Eramprunyà, Medieval barony in Gavà, Spain.
The Baronia d'Eramprunyà was a feudal territory spanning several municipalities in the region southwest of Barcelona. It encompassed Gavà, Begues, Castelldefels, Sant Climent de Llobregat, Viladecans, and Sant Boi de Llobregat and was governed by a noble family.
The territory gained importance in the 13th century when the Marc family acquired the Roca estate and gradually expanded their holdings within the feudal jurisdiction. This expansion shaped the region for centuries to come.
The baronial archives contain eight linear meters of paper documentation from the 16th to 19th centuries, offering insights into local life and administration.
Those interested in its history can research microfilmed copies of the baronial archives held at the National Archive of Catalonia and the Regional Archive of Baix Llobregat. The available documents date mainly from the 16th to 19th centuries.
The castle of Eramprunyà, which served as the baronial administrative center, remained privately owned until 2007 when the Girona family sold it to Gavà municipality. Today it stands as a reminder of the area's feudal past.
