El carrer Cavallers es correspon amb l'antic camí ral de Madrid a Barcelona.
Els cavallers i gent benestant de l’època, van anar edificant cases, per això avui es coneix amb el nom de carrer dels Cavallers.
Un passeig per aquest carrer és com fer un recorregut per l'arquitectura des del segle XVII endavant. Podem veure finestrals gòtics i renaixentistes, portals adovellats o façanes vuitcentistes ricament ornamentades.

Il golfo della Spezia (detto anche golfo dei Poeti) è un'ampia e profonda insenatura della costa del Mar Ligure, situata all'estremità orientale della regione Liguria. Il golfo prende il nome dalla città della Spezia, ubicata in posizione centrale in fondo al golfo stesso, laddove sorge un importante porto mercantile (specializzato nella movimentazione dei container).

These pillars used to be the foundation for one of the largest saw mills in this region of Sweden a couple of hundred years ago. It also used to be the major source of income for people living there. About 150 years ago the saw mill went bankrupt when modern saw mills driven by steam took over the competition. Since then the pillars have been standing there as a monument of a bygone era.
