Can Rovira

This building was constructed during the 15^th century by the Gurb family. It is an old stately house belonging to the richest family in the town. In 1995, the building became municipal property. It was later opened as a tourist office and as an exhibition hall.

This big manor house was rebuilt in the 17^th century. Between the two central large windows there is a lintel with the date of its reform: 1692. The house consists of a ground floor, a first floor and an attic, with a gabled roof, red stone façades and monolithic lintel windows with jambs and old stone lintels.

On the ground floor, we can find the tourist office. At the reception desk, visitors who need some information get help, and inhabitants’ requests are attended. In addition, we can find a multipurpose room, which holds, throughout the year, exhibitions by all those artist who want to exhibit their work.

On the first floor you can visit a series of complementary exhibitions of Museu Guilleries, which present the history and the tradition of Sant Hilari. On more than one occasion, this floor has been suitable for holding specific activities or meetings.

On the third and last floor, the attic, you can visit two other exhibitions. On one hand, Via Crucis Vivent exhibition, which has been declared a traditional festivity of national interest. In there, you can see all the wardrobe of this festivity . On the other hand, an exhibition of dioramas made by Associació de Pessebristes of Sant Hilari (Nativity Scenes Association).
