Casa Coll i Regàs, Modernist mansion in Mataró, Spain.
Casa Coll i Regàs is a three-story residential building in Mataró featuring a stone facade decorated with detailed sgraffito work, ornamental tiles, and a large ground-floor tribune built from Montjuïc stone. The window bars showcase metalwork craftsmanship that enhances the overall architectural composition.
Joaquim Coll i Regàs, a textile manufacturer, received permission from Mataró authorities in 1897 to construct this residence, which opened in 1898. The construction reflected the modernization and economic growth that Mataró experienced during this period.
The building displays elements of Catalan modernism and Art Nouveau, incorporating textile industry motifs such as cotton flowers and machinery components in its decorative patterns.
The site is open to visitors through guided tours and offers various activities and workshops throughout the year. It is advisable to check opening hours in advance, as these may vary by season and special events.
The entrance portal displays Mataró's symbol, known as The Spinner, a reference to the city's textile and spinning heritage. The window bars were crafted in Barcelona workshops by metalworker Manuel Ballarín.
