History
Ferreries was founded at the end of the 13th century, originally around a church dedicated to Saint Bartholomew before gaining autonomy in 1836. An Arab castle was constructed during Moorish rule atop the Santa Àgueda hill and is accessible through an old road. Its name is derived from the Catalan word ferrer meaning "blacksmith", which in turn, comes from Latin word ferrum.
