Archive of the Marquises of Santa Maria de Barberà

The Archive of the Marquises of Santa Maria de Barberà (AMSMB) is the most important heritage archive in Catalonia, located in the castle of the Marquises of Santa Maria de Barberà in Vilassar de Dalt, Spain.[1]

The Castell de Vilassar dates back to the 10th century as a fortress, with significant enlargements and additions of architectural features in the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries as it was converted from a military structure into a palace.[1]

It is currently owned by Ramon de Sarriera i Fernández de Muniaín and his wife Marcela Bernat Valenzuela, current Marquises of Santa Maria de Barberà, who carried out the relevant works in the restoration and rehabilitation of both the castle, the gardens and the archive itself, the furniture, and the works of art. Since 1931, the castle has been classified as a historic-artistic monument (conjunto histórico), which is a subclass of Bien de Interés Cultural.[1]
