Escola Gitanjali, Art Nouveau school in Badalona, Spain

The Escola Gitanjali occupies a three-level building with a semi-basement, ground floor, and upper floor, featuring asymmetrical volumes and extended balconies.

Leonard Le Prevost requested the construction permit in 1908, and Joan Padrós i Fornaguera conducted an expansion in 1946 to convert it into two separate houses.

Three 24-year-old women from Badalona established the school in 1962, naming it after Rabindranath Tagore's poetry collection due to their admiration for his work.

The school building, located at Avinguda Martí Pujol 37-41, displays strong window gratings and contains educational facilities across multiple floors.

The Teachers' Cooperative of Escola Gitanjali successfully transformed their private institution into a public school on January 16, 1986.
