Granja Vella - Martí Codolar

The Granja Vella - Martí Codolar combines eclectic and historicist architectural styles within a large estate surrounded by gardens in Barcelona.

Built in the 17th century as Can Gausachs farmhouse, the property transformed into a French manor house during the 18th century under Milà de la Roca family ownership.

The estate houses a Salesian seminary that maintains religious traditions while preserving the architectural heritage of the Horta-Guinardó district.

Visitors can access the residence at Cardenal Vidal i Barraquer Avenue 15 for short retreats or contact the administration through their website marti-codolar.net.

During the mid-19th century, the estate contained Barcelona's first zoo, with Lluís Martí Codolar filling the gardens with exotic animals.
