The Catalan coast was the target of numerous attacks during the medieval period, generally carried out by pirates. It will not be until the 16th century when a defensive network of the coast will be structured. A large number of farmhouses began to be built with watchtower, as is the case of Ca n'Umbert. Their height allowed communication between them through signals, resulting in a very effective system for defending against possible foreign attacks.
