Fortified House

FORTIFIED HOUSE 17th-18th centuries

Remains of an old fortified house, located outside the former 17th-century walled enclosure. At that time, Llançà was a walled town with several defence towers strategically placed around its small urban centre. As the years went by and the population increased, the town expanded beyond its defence walls. The lookout towers were gradually moved outside the walled enclosure, and in some cases were turned into fortified houses.
