A farmhouse of the 12th century
This station is located in the boulevard with the same name, which comes from the real estate of Can Peixauet (the pronunciation is “pexuet”). Thi building, which is known as Mas Villalonga, has very old foundations since its origins date back to the 12th century. Until the 16th century, it was called Mas Castellars and in the 17th and 19th centuries it was renovated becoming the current building that everybody knows now. The name comes from one of its last owners, Antón del Sol, who purchased the house around the year 1815. Indeed he was better known as Pexauet, from which derives the catalan name Peixauet.
