The Can Cortada farmhouse was one of the most important centres of agricultural production in Horta between the 16th and 19th centuries. In this time, its surface area covered quite a few hectares of the upper part of today’s neighbourhood, and its products were sold in the city until well into the 20th century.
Buildings that write history
Can Cortada was built over the remains of a 1st century Roman villa discovered during the renovation of Avinguda de l’Estatut. It has been remodelled several times in its history, to adapt it to changing times or repair the damage caused by bandit attacks.
Its most recent renovation was in 1994, when it was converted into a restaurant. Its entire original structure, even the old 16th century watchtower, has been preserved. Owned by the Grup Travi, the restaurant is famous for its Catalan cuisine.
