L’Ametlla del Vallès : Lage und Umgebung dieser Immobilie

L'Ametlla del Vallès is a municipality in the Vallès Oriental region, located to the south of the Cíngles de Bertí (pre-coastal mountain range). Its location means that it has two types of landscape: the Vallès plain, mainly agricultural, and a more mountainous one. The main town centre is located in the middle of both orographies, enjoying a gentle slope. Its past dates back to the year 903, when the name of the municipality appears for the first time in association with the daughter of Count Guifré, to whom it belonged. But it was not until 1843 that the first town council was formed. The increase in population was particularly noticeable between 1970 and 2004, when the number of inhabitants increased sixfold, reaching more than 8,000 today. We can find examples of the region's agricultural past in the farmhouses of Ca l'Arenys, Can Carlons, Can Divino, Can Draper, Can Fàbregues del Bosque, Can Guineu, etc... We can also find architectural and religious heritage, such as the parish church of Sant Genís de l'Ametlla, built in 906. The modernist imprint, the result of the impulse at the beginning of the 20th century, is reflected in several buildings, including the town hall building (1912), Cal Barber, Dr. Balsa's café (1906) and Can Millet (a farmhouse dating back to the 14th-17th century).
