MATADEPERA
The town of
Matadepera forms part of the
Valles Occidental
and is situated at the foot of the mountain
Sant Llorenç
del Munt, a rocky conglomerate which at its peak, La Mola,
reaches a height of 1,095 meters.
The area of
Matadepera is 24.83 km2, part of which falls within the boundaries
of Parc Natural
de Sant Llorenç del Munt and Serra de l’Obac.
Matadepera is located 6 km
from Terrassa, 10 km from Sabadell and about 30 km from Barcelona.
History:
The first
documented evidence of the foundation of ‘Matadepera’, which was
then under the jurisdiction of the castle of Terrassa, dates from
the year 959. Later, in the year 1014, the counts Ramon Borrell
and Ermessend granted the Benedictine monastery of Sant Llorenç
del Munt the freehold of Matadepera; later still it came to fall
under royal jurisdiction.
Matadepera has
now become an important residential town, where the services
sector and construction are the principal economic activities.
