Sa Perola is the net dyeing house of the Fisherman's Guild at Saint Piere. It is located in Carrer de les Voltes de Calella de Palafrugell (Baix Empordà region). Documentation of the dyeing centre was preserved by the same producer until his entrance to the Municipal File of Palafrugell.[1]
Currently, it serves as a tourist office and interpretation center for the fishing industry in Calella and the maritime heritage of the district as a whole. Sa Perola has become a historical landmark for the town of Calella de Palafrugell and is noteworthy in ethnological, social and cultural terms. Its relevance extends beyond the municipality of Palafrugell, due to the destruction of most of the net-dyeing houses on the Catalan Coast.[2]
