Sierra Engarcerán: street fountain, Tossal de la Vila and church

The photograph shows a wall fountain among whitewashed façades in Sierra Engarcerán. Stone doorways, a balcony, ceramic decoration and plants can be seen. Tossal de la Vila, San Bartolomé Church and Palau Casalduch do not appear.

Tossal de la Vila preserves two occupation phases

The archaeological site occupies a platform at 954 metres west of the village and is protected as a Bien de Interés Cultural. Excavations document a walled settlement with one phase spanning the late Bronze and early Iron Ages and another dating to the 10th century. It is not the photographed street.

San Bartolomé combines work from the 16th to 18th centuries

Construction of the present church began in 1580 and ended in 1767. The heritage record describes a central nave, two side aisles with chapels, two entrances and a façade flanked by a bell tower and clock tower. Visiting arrangements for the interior and artworks should be checked.

The municipality extends beyond one settlement

Provincial information distinguishes Sierra Engarcerán village, dispersed farmsteads and the settlements of Els Ivarsos and Els Rosildos. It also places Palau Casalduch, now the town hall, beside the church. This territorial structure prevents one façade or fountain from standing in for the entire municipality.

This documentary edit distinguishes the photographed fountain, archaeological site, church and separate settlements. It does not verify water, homes, excavations, wall, church, artworks, paths, hours, parking or accessibility on site.
