Porxos d'en Xifré, Neoclassical residential building in Sant Pere Santa Caterina i la Ribera, Spain.
Casa Xifré stands with six interconnected structures featuring symmetrical proportions, detailed ornamentation, and a series of arched porches along its facade.
The building, completed in 1840 by architects Josep Boixareu and Francesc Vila i Espliego, marked history as the first photographed structure in Spain.
The facade displays medallions depicting notable figures and mythological motifs, which scholars interpret through Masonic symbolism.
The residential complex features modern amenities, including water collection systems, solar panels, and composting facilities integrated into its structure.
The rooftop transformation project created Barcelona's largest residential green space, incorporating 50 plant species and natural habitats for local wildlife.
