Description

This geometric plan, made by Sebastià Cabot i Anguera, architect and surveyor, allows us to know what the territory around the Cartuixa de Scala Dei, in the Priorat region, was like, with its movable and immovable properties. At the same time, it provides us with the reference of architectural elements and toponyms existing at the time of exclaustration as a result of the Law of Confiscation of 1835 of the property of the regular communities of the Catholic Church. These properties were acquired by the partners who constituted the “Sociedad la Unión de Escaladei” whose mission was to exploit the land agriculturally. The plan shows the lots graphically, specifying by means of a numerical legend, and by color, to which of the four owners, former members of the agricultural society “Unión de Scala Dei”, they belonged.
