Can Falç to become the new museum of Sitges

The historical and archaeological study of Can Falç was presented for the first time in public as part of the commemoration of the International Day of Museums. The work followed the evolution of this group of buildings built on top of archaeological remains from Roman times. At present, for example, we already know the date of each wall and its original function. Such information will be paramount when drafting the refurbishment project and the future and definitive use plan for Can Falç.

The study makes a synthesis of information obtained from public and private archives, and from the archaeological analysis of each of the walls, structures and openings in the building, and the four archaeological surveys performed on the basement. With the data obtained, it was possible to distinguish six different periods of construction of the oldest manor existing in Sitges since the sixteenth century, although the presence of the family is attested in the town from1326 to the twentieth century.

The work also includes old pictures of the manor and the drawings and volumes at each moment of its evolution. In September, there will be an Open Day for everyone to watch the results of the first phase of the reform.

On occasion of International Museum Day, the historic and archeological study was officially presented, and all the people attending the event at Palau Maricel had the opportunity to watch live the result of the work. In September there will be an Open Day for everyone to see the results of the first phase of the reform.
