Description

The surname Clota has given its name to one of the neighborhoods in the city of Esplugues de Llobregat. The origin of the house dates from the 14th century, with subsequent reforms. It is a classic fortified farmhouse, with Renaissance and Neoclassical elements. There is evidence that descendants of the Canyet, Clota and, currently, Delàs families, barons of Vilagaià, have lived there. It is an example of isolated rural architecture, today incorporated into the urban plot and declared BCIL.
