The 18th-century manor of Can Manent in Premiá de Mar

Can Manent, a basilica-style structure in Premiá de Mar, Maresme, is a protected local cultural asset. It is an 18th-century building with three crugies and features a main entrance with a half-point arch that is dovetailed. The remaining openings are quadrangular, adorned with carved stones for brancals, lintels, and sills. Two lateral doors on the ground floor were added later.

A porch was constructed at an angle (E) with the façade in the 19th century. At the back, there is an attached wing with a ground floor and a roof covered with a terrace, possibly serving as a tool house or a shelter for draft animals. Currently, Can Manent is destined for a Museum in Premiá de Mar.

Evidence of fragments of ceramics from various periods, including Iberian, Roman, and even potential signs of a Roman settlement, have been found around Can Manent and reused in its construction. The first documents dating to 1618 link the manor closely to the origins of Premiá de Mar, where a small population of fishermen and farmers was established.
