01About the place

Fortified house with towers and embrasures on the main street of Canet de la Tallada (La Tallada d'Empordà, Baix Empordà), behind the church of Sant Mateu and near Montgrí.

A lintel with the date 1742 points to a major 18th-century renovation; in the late 1950s it was restored by the German sculptor Ricci Riggenbach, who lived there for about three decades.
