Santa Maria de Besora • Osona7m0

Balma dels Ferrers nº2, formerly inhabited, in Santa Maria de Besora.

Characteristics

Location

We will leave Santa Maria de Besora along the track that leads to Llaers; after about 2 Km we will take a turn-off to the right that leads to the Ferrers farmhouse, the track continues in a steep climb. After about 1300 m we will leave the car on a very sharp bend and continue on foot heading East for about 300 m until we find the cliff face on our left; a small path will take us to the balma dels Ferrers nº1. If we continue along the path we were on, we will soon find a turn-off that will take us up to the balma dels Ferrers nº2, which is about 8 m higher up.

Description

Morphology

The balma dels Ferrers nº2 is located above balma nº1, right at the edge of the cliff, and preserves remains of constructions. It is 29 m long by 7 m deep and 4.50 m high.

History

These balmes were often inhabited by farmers with few resources, they were usually peasants who cultivated the lands of the neighbouring houses, the Ferrers, el Teixidor, la Vila, la Serra; next to the dwellings and within the balma itself, the farmers kept the livestock shed. It seems that they were inhabited until the beginning of the 20th century.
