Torre Mauri, Modernist house in La Pobla de Segur, Spain
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 complex's name comes from Ramon Mauri i Arnalot, the stonemason's son who founded the sawmill works in 1890. The former Sant Josep oil mill, built in 1905, was given the form of a Romanesque church, with a statue of Saint Joseph and the Child Jesus by Josep Llimona in a niche above the door. Today Casa Mauri houses the town hall, the old garage holds the Tourist Office and the mill serves as a multipurpose hall.
