"Vilanova Street (Monells, Catalonia)" Photography art prints and posters by Marc Garrido Clotet

Description:

This photo is from my last visit to Monells, a medieval town in the comarca (county) of the Baix Empordà, not far from Girona in the North-Est of Catalonia. It is a small village but walking across the cobbled streets you can feel like you get a few centuries back in time.

Vilanova street was mostly constructed during the XVII and XVIII centuries when a lot of houses were built on the top of the city walls remains defining the current city layout; in many houses you will find date inscription stones referring to that period. In fact, Monell’s streets and squares are an example of the architectonic evolution throw different ages. Besides this newer houses, you can find parts of the roman walls and the ancient defense towers. And the “Plaça de l’Oli” (Olive Square) and the “Carrer dels Arcs” (Arches Street) are from the Gothic period.
