Can Salort

Monuments | Ciutadella

The old Martorell House is completed in 1813 displaying its monumental neoclassical facade, topped with a large triangular pediment, on Major del Born street. Stresses the impressive lodge that opens on the facade that overlooks the square, which recalls Italian architecture and serves as a model for the two twin galleries of the house of the Count of Torre-saura, built just after and a short distance from it. The building is conceived as the residence of the second branch of the Martorell family, directly related to the Marquises of Albranca, who will be named Salort, a family ennobled in 1864. Due to the relationship between the Salort and the Olives family, the owner of this house is the one who currently holds the title of VIII Count of Torre-saura .
