Mas de Ventura

Step back in time to visit the grand 18th-century Mas de Ventura in Constantí, Tarragona. A protected cultural landmark, it boasts a large manor, its own chapel, and a sundial. Once a fortified property, it now serves as the headquarters of Constantí's industrial estate.

Nestled in the picturesque town of Constantí, Tarragona, Mas de Ventura stands as a testament to the region's rich history. Built in the 18th century, this grand manor had once been fortified and is now one of the most notable buildings in the region, known for its size and elegant design. The manor's ground floor, noble floor, and attic bear witness to its grandeur, while the two porches flanking the building, adorned by semi-circular arches, add a striking architectural element. The manor is covered in lime plaster, and a sundial on the main facade adorns the ensemble with a touch of antiquity. The chapel attached to its right side, adorned by four striped Doric columns, is another noteworthy feature. Once under the protection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the chapel now only houses a somewhat deteriorated organ. The first records of Mas de Ventura date back to 1700.
