When we decide to buy a farmhouse, the first thing to do is find out and understand what it is: The farmhouse is the most popular representation of Catalan rural architecture. The term itself comes from the Catalan ‘mas’ and this in turn, from the Latin word ‘mansum’, that is, it was the Roman villas themselves that inspired the architecture of the farmhouse. It is not until the beginning of the SXX that these properties arouse interest again.
Stone is, without a doubt, another of the most characteristic elements of the Catalan farmhouse and is present both in its natural state and worked in arches or lintels of doors and windows. Formerly the Masias were part of an agricultural or livestock operation, and that is why they usually occupy an area of between 20 and 300 hectares.
