Wars, sieges and bandits

Mas Guinardó  was a point of special military interest, as it was perched on a hill called Cogoll, which had great views over the Barcelona plain. It served as a lookout where the attacking commanders directed the two sieges that Barcelona suffered in the seventeenth century. In 1652, it was the site of the city's surrender in the Reapers’ War, and in the 1714 siege in the War of the Spanish Succession, the high commander of the Bourbon troops was housed there.

At more than 600 years old, it is one of the oldest houses in the city, and it is said that it was also the home of Perot Rocaguinarda, alias Perot lo Lladre, a celebrated bandit who even appears in Cervantes’s Don Quixote with the name of Roque Guinart.

Neighbourhood facility

In 1894, Salvador Riera bought Mas Guinardó , and in 1896 he also purchased Mas Viladomat, located at the end of the Rambla Volart, although it no longer stands today. The urbanisation of this entire area was approved in 1897.

The Association of Home-owners and Residents of El Guinardó was established in 1906, and this house has been the headquarters of the Casal d'Entitats Mas Guinardó since 2011.
