Casa Cumons, a historic ruin in Castell de Mur, Pallars Jussà, has been standing since the 14th century, although the exact date of construction, rebuilding, or abandonment is not given. The site was originally a manor house built by the Cumo family, whose town was affected by the Black Death in the 14th century. The house was eventually abandoned and left to decay, only to be reconstructed over the following centuries. Today, it serves as an attraction where visitors can explore its crumbling rooms, including the deep trench in the living room, once a defensive structure against invaders. Despite the Cumo family's disappearance, their house remains, providing a glimpse into the past and inviting modern visitors to walk through its ancient halls.
