One of the oldest streets of Arenys de Mar is the “carrer de l’església” or church’s street. It was opened about the XVI century.
Even though the construction boom of the 70th seriously damaged the street aesthetics, today is still crowded with century old houses. One of this old houses is the priest residence.
The history tells that the original priest residence was next to the church, but the building was heavy damaged during the Spanish civil war. After the conflict, during the military dictatorship, the town council bought the actual house and gave it to the church as compensation.
The picture shows a detail of the ground floor beautiful window grille of the actual priest house. This style of grille is very common in the ancient Arenys houses.
