Villa for sale in Argentona, Barcelona

Barcelona · El Maresme · Argentona
Just 40 minutes from Barcelona, in the heart of El Maresme, lies this unique 29.28-hectare estate with exceptional historical, architectural, and natural value. Located in the northwest area of Argentona, it stands out for its Mediterranean landscape and for housing one of the region’s most iconic heritage sites.
Once the seat of a prominent Benedictine Priory, the estate still preserves the Romanesque chapel of Sant Pere de Clarà, originally built in the late 9th century and renovated in the 13th and 20th centuries. In 1925, it was restored under the direction of architect Rubió i Bellver. Both the chapel and the farmhouse are listed as Cultural Heritage Sites of Local Interest (BCIL) and are protected under the Catalan Cultural Heritage Catalogue.
