History
Cal Gravat: A house inside the rock
During the long days of winter, the people who lived formerly in Cal Gravat, hollowed out the rock to get more space inside the house and stored in these excavated rooms, the wine and the food that they had to keep cool. Nowadays, the house has a special troglodytic style thanks to these excavations.
The visitors of Cal Gravat usually enjoy staying in the house during weekends or small vacations. The house, totally renovated and adapted to the commodities of the modern way of life, combines the comfort with the charming of the past. Constructed just next to the ancient wall of Montsonís, Cal Gravat still has the excavations made in the rock a long time ago.
Located in the High Street, Cal Gravat is near the Castle of Montsonís, which is a fantastic fortification thousand years old. It is possible to enter inside and enjoy guided visits.
