Description

This letter, dated December 14, 1574, is the oldest document preserved in the Santa Perpètua de Mogoda Municipal Archive. Registers the confession of a piece of land located in the place called Coll de Mollet, within the alou de Montalegre. It is a clear example of the feudal system in force, where the peasants recognized the lord’s rights over the land they worked. The document is essential to understand the forms of access to land, taxation and territorial organization in 16th century Catalonia.
