Casa Puig i Cadafalch, Art Nouveau summer residence in Argentona, Spain
Description
Casa Puig i Cadafalch is a residence in Argentona that showcases Catalan modernist and Art Nouveau features. The building emerged from three earlier structures merged into one, with carefully carved stone facades and intricate rooms inside.
History
The house was built between 1897 and 1905 as the summer home of Josep Puig i Cadafalch, a prominent Catalan architect. Its construction took place during a time of major architectural change in Catalonia.
Culture
The house shows how Catalan architects in the early 1900s mixed regional building traditions with European design movements. The facades and interior spaces tell this story through a blend of medieval forms and new artistic ideas.
Practical
The house sits on Dolors Monserdà Street near the town square of Argentona and is reasonably easy to reach on foot. The area has basic services and the facades are partly visible from the street.
Did you know?
The garden beside the house contains a separate pavilion that shows how Josep Puig i Cadafalch balanced traditional Catalan elements with modern building ideas. This fusion between old and new makes the whole property worth noticing.
