Torre Mauri

Torre Mauri is a modernist residence in La Pobla de Segur designed in the Catalan Art Nouveau style, with stone and brick walls forming its structure. Its roofline features terraces and Arabic tiles that create a distinctive visual character.

Ramon Mauri, whose father was a stonemason who became successful in Madrid, began building the complex around 1890. The family had achieved financial prosperity following the Third Carlist War.

The building displays mosaics crafted by Lluís Brú and Salelles, showing how local artisans contributed to this architectural project. These handmade decorative elements give the house a personal character that you notice as you move through the spaces.

The building now serves as the City Council headquarters, and the former garage houses the Tourist Office. You can visit the public areas during regular working hours.

Within the former Sant Josep Oil Mill section, there stands a sculpture by Josep Llimona showing Saint Joseph with the Child Jesus. This religious artwork is a rare example of sacred sculpture integrated into the modernist complex.
