Castell de Santa Florentina

At the top of Canet valley, in the middle of forests, the old domus of Canet has been documented from the 11th century. In the mid-14th century, it became a strong house, with two towers that still mark the entrance.

The transformation into the current castle of Santa Florentina took place between 1899 and 1912. The house was renovated and extended by the modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, nephew of the owner, the publisher Ramon de Montaner i Vila, count of Canet valley. Its current appearance is that of a medieval castle, with tall crenelated towers, a large enclosed courtyard, a chapel with a crypt (the most purely modernist space) and several stately halls. A Gothic gallery can be seen in the courtyard with pieces from the monastery of El Tallat Vallbona de les Monges).

Santa Florentina Castle is open for guided and audio-guided tours, but is also the site of corporate events and weddings, as well as photo and recording sessions, some as famous as the Game of Thrones series.
