Montgat

Montgat is part of the Maresme region. One of the theories about the origins of the name of Montgat comes from the hill: Mons Hecate, known by the Romans with the name of Promontorium lunarium.

It is the most southern locality of the Maresme region, located on the coast at the border with the region of Barcelonès, between Badalona and El Masnou.

We invite you to discover the main points of interest that the municipality offers the visitor:
