Can Verdal

Can Verdal

Formerly owned by Joan Serra de Can Verdal, who sold Miramar to the Archduke. It was later passed to the Planes family when the heiress, Margalida Serra i Morei, married Miquel Planes i Poquet. In this house is where Archduke Ludwig Salvator, in 1872, bought the estate and monastery of Miramar, owned by Joan Serra.

The building was completely remodeled at the end of the 20th century, becoming a municipal social center. On its facade, we can see a plaque that commemorates all the laborers who used to gather daily in this square to be hired for work in the Marjal. Local authors.

History and literature: It was raining all over, and she was playing with her largest doll. When she heard a carriage stop on the street. She approached the doorway and saw two men get out.

The young man went to the horse and petted it a little under the rain. They entered the house and shook off their wet coats; they looked like two peasants dressed up. One of them had fallen in love with Miramar.
