The Maresme<\/a> coastline came to be known as \u201cthe Donjonada Coast\u201d<\/strong> due to the large number of towers and castles that were built between the 16th and 17th centuries as towers for surveillance and defense against pirates and corsairs.<\/p>\n

Currently 55 are preserved, two of them in Sant Vicen\u00e7 de Montalt<\/a>, the Torre Can Valls and Can Saur\u00ed.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These 55 buildings located in the<\/strong> Maresme region<\/a><\/strong> remind us that there was a time when piracy attacks were frequent in this area.<\/p>\n

Currently these towers, which are still in use, are part of farmhouses or annex buildings, which remind us the time of pirates and corsairs.<\/p>\n

A good example of this is the Torre de Can Saur\u00ed<\/strong> located on a private property (not open to visitors) on Calle Mayor 13 in Sant Vicen\u00e7 de Montalt<\/strong><\/a>. A 16th century farmhouse with an adjoining defensive tower that belonged to the Saur\u00ed family, later to the Brunet, and finally to the Rabassa.<\/p>\n

In Sant Vicen\u00e7 de Montalt<\/a> we find another tower, La Torre de Can Valls located inside the Parque de los Hermanos Gabrielistes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a 4-hectare garden<\/strong> with native flora and ancient trees from Africa, Asia and Australia that were brought by the Brothers from their missions in those continents.<\/p>\n

The Torre de Can Valls was restored<\/strong> in the 1990s and is in a very good state of preservation. You can see the basic parts of the watchtowers such as the slope, the door, the window, the machicolations, the battlements and the steeds.<\/p>\n
