Rocabertí

Los hermanos Antonio y Tomas de Rocabertí-Dameto restauraron el Castillo de Peralada a finales del s. XIX. Para ello incorporaron materiales procedentes de distintos puntos de la geografía española. Reunieron una importante pinacoteca, en parte heredada, en parte adquirida y en parte encargada a reconocidos pintores mallorquines, así como mobiliario y una riquísima biblioteca que constaba de de 28,000 volúmenes.

During the last quarter of nineteenth century, the brothers Antoni de Rocabertí-Dameto, count of Zavellà, and Tomàs de Rocabertí-Dameto, count of Peralada, restaured the Castle-palace of Peralada thanks to imported issues coming from
París and from Castille, and also from their properties in Mallorca and from Zavellà castle.
Their collections were inherited by their sister Joana-Adelaida who maintained them, and later by the political family, Fernando Truyols i Despuig, marquis of La Torre, and Josep Despuig i González de Balbuena. With them a lot of artistical pieces went back to the island before the monumental ensemble was purchased by Damià Mateu i Bisa for his son Miquel Mateu i Pla in 1923.
