ADMINISTRATIVE ROUTE

The material remains of this administration and its governing institutions are still visible in several places throughout the Viscountcy. The Viscountcy of Cabrera was a territory with dynamic commercial activity, centred on its markets, which constituted its main areas of influence, and it also benefited from good connections with maritime routes.

The Gothic fountain was undertaken around 1438 by Violant de Prades, viscountess of Cabrera, and the local trade guild. It is the best preserved example of Catalan civil Gothic architecture, and one of the most important in Europe. In its construction, local microgranite was used, but also Girona stone with Mallorca limestone for the ornamental elements.
