Fishing house (pesquera) at Lake of Banyoles (Estany de Banyoles). Girona, in northeastern Catalonia, Spain

---

The pesqueres of the Estany de Banyoles are small buildings erected on the East bank of the lake, on the side which leads to the town. Each of them, 20 in total, has its own individual name. The construction of the pesqueres began in the mid-19th century and continued until 1931, when the Town Council prohibited any new construction of this type. In any case, these buildings have been altered and refurbished over the years, following different styles, until the 1960’s.
