Residència d'Oficials de Barcelona

The white rectangular building extends into an L-shape along Captain Arenas Street, featuring a central Spanish coat of arms on its main facade.

Built between August 1939 and May 1940, architects Josep Soteras i Mauri and Manuel de Solà-Morales i de Rosselló designed this structure during Spain's post-civil war period.

The building represents rationalist architecture principles through its geometric forms, functional spaces, and minimalist design approach that emphasizes utility over decoration.

Located at 666 Diagonal Avenue, this military facility includes hotel services, a restaurant, tennis courts, swimming pool, and gardens for officers' accommodation.

When constructed, this building stood isolated among agricultural fields, but now occupies a central position in Barcelona's commercial and business district.
