Have you noticed that La Serra has turrets at two corners of the house?
Located in Santa Maria de Merlès, between Berguedà and Lluçanès, La Serra is a Premium Rural Boutique Hotel: A refuge of peace, nature, and history. Just 1 hour and 30 minutes from Barcelona, with easy access from Girona and Vic, this privileged location combines the tranquility of the rural environment with proximity to the main attractions of Catalonia.
Today, we want to share the story of the two turrets that crown the corners of the house.
These structures speak to the fascinating historical legacy of our country. They are towers with small openings, once used for rifle shooting! During the War of Succession, La Serra was a strategic point and the scene of several battles, and these turrets were built to reinforce the defense.
The base of the turrets has a conical shape with rings marking several levels, culminating in a rounded structure. A unique architectural detail that reveals their history and defensive function.
And even better: you can step inside and explore them from within!
At La Serra, you have the opportunity to enjoy a space filled with history, natural beauty, and charm. Will you come and discover it?
