Description
The Banyoles fisheries are a set of twenty house-shaped lake buildings, built on the east and south shores of the Banyoles lake, on the side of the city, similar to a stilt house. They are the evolution and consolidation of the old walkways that, due to the shallowness of the lake shores, were built for fishing.
They were built throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. They are advanced in the water to have sufficient depth for fishing and are founded on the travertine slab inside the Lake. All are located in the area closest to the town. Of the existing twenty (one is divided into two bodies), five are less than fifteen square meters, seven between twenty and thirty, five of other sizes and only two of more than one hundred and sixty.
On January 15, 1997, they were declared a cultural asset of national interest as a historical garden.
Location: Banyoles, Girona, Catalonia, Southern Europe.
