Montgat
Montgat is part of the Maresme region. One of the theories about the origins of the name of Montgat comes from the hill: Mons Hecate, known by the Romans with the name of Promontorium lunarium.
It is the most southern locality of the Maresme region, located on the coast at the border with the region of Barcelonès, between Badalona and El Masnou.
We invite you to discover the main points of interest that the municipality offers the visitor:
Beaches
Spacious and cozy, they are a demand for local tourism. Montgat is the Kaleta for many surfers who during the winter take advantage of the waves and the wind for surfing.
Watchtower
It is the oldest civil building in the municipality. Its main feature is its absidal plant (square on the north side and circular to the south).
The Old Quarter or fishing district
It has its origin as an urban nucleus in the 18th century. It emphasizes the church of San Juan, initiated in 1816 with its bell tower and clock of four faces that gave the hour to the walkers of the real road.
The house of the Villa
It was inaugurated in 1943, since until 1933, Montgat was nothing more than a neighborhood of Tiana.
Train station
Date of 1848 and together with that of Badalona and Mataró are the only ones that preserve the original architectural style.
The first railway tunnel of Spain was constructed in 1848 thanks to in Miguel Biada, a mataroní emigrante in America that was the promoter of
The Barcelona - Mataró train line.
Mediterranean Sculpture
Located in the Plaza Mallorquines is the work of the Montgat artist Alvar Suñol, with an alleged content on the Mediterranean Catalonia and also on the town of Montgat.
September 11th Monument
In commemoration to the setge and the lost rights of a town.
Tram Park
It is the result of Montgat's commitment to prevent the B-20 motorway from being a wound in the municipality, but instead becoming a leisure area.
The hermitage of San Martín
It dates from the 11th century. Inside the church we can admire two remarkable works by the famous artist Doménec Giró.
