History of Masía Vallfort, a medieval building.
It is documented that Sir Bernat de Vallfort was a knight in the year 1213. Throughout history, Masía Vallfort has been modified and is a fortified building with a registered origin from the 15th century.
The building is located on a small hill at the edge of the Marmellar stream, very close to Lleger.
Access is through a bastion with a lowered arch door. The structure of the building is supported by buttresses.
The materials used are irregular ashlar stones, and the defensive character of its wall is also noteworthy.
The complex has different construction phases and preserves the passage of its history, such as its role as a defensive enclave in La Marca, visible in its high ceilings and stone arches.
