Arc of Carrer d'en Botí
Botí Arch is one of the few examples, along with Balç Street, of the original urban layout of Manresa (15th-century Gothic/traditional style). This passage connected two of the ring-shaped streets that went around Puigmercadal and ran from the gates of the wall of Carmen to Saint Dominic.
Currently, many of the buildings in the area are from the second half of the 19th century and have replaced the original medieval and modern ones. An important part of the setting is the paving with cut flat stones, characteristic until some time ago of the oldest streets in Manresa.
Typology/Elements
It highlights the same arches that support part of the building above Carrer d'en Botí and the double window of P1 with a slender smooth column that supports two semicircular arches made from a single stone piece each. Although the building had been plastered, the masonry above the arches and that of P1 is quite regular, especially the voussoirs of the arch
Originally this space served a residential function (dwellings) but it is currently unused.
