Monells

MAIN SQUARE OF MONELLS

IThe main square named Plaça de Jaume I was right in the centre of an old quarter surrounded by walls. It has the form of an irregular rectangle. The north side consists of 6 arcades above which stand the houses, whereas the eastern side houses the Town Hall with a gothic trefoil window. In front of this building 2 new arches that copy the former ones have been added. While lime was mainly used for the arches, uneven boulders were employed in the building of the façades, which date back to the XIV-XVth. centuries.
