Los Masos



 

Los Masos

 

 

In the Têt valley, three miles downstream from Prades are the four hamlets of "Sacristie", "Ballanet", "Lloncet" et "Llonat" that compose the community of Los Masos.

 

 

Formerly dedicated to the wine production, Los Masos remains an agricultural town. Olive groves, forgotten for a while, seem to get a new boost.

 

 

Until the middle of the XVIIth century, the inhabitants dwelled around Notre-Dame du Roure, a church located on the first foothills of mount Canigou , but they had to leave the place after a landslide. Judging by the vestiges still standing, you can visualize a XIIth century construction with walls in "opus mixtum" much in use in roman building.

 

 

 

 

 

Every year, a procession goes to Notre-Dame du Roure with a statue of Saint-Michel kept in the parish church of Llonat .

 

 

This church displays odd altarpieces dating 1700, with a Virgin Mary holding a wine grape and a Saint Joseph hand in hand with Jesus child holding a basket.
