Casa Castanyer, Neoclassical residential building in Sant Pere Santa Caterina i la Ribera, Spain.

The three-story Casa Castanyer features semi-circular portals leading to a central courtyard with a staircase rising beneath an arch supported by Ionic columns.

Architects Ignasi March and Antonio Ginesi designed this residence in 1805 for Gaietà de Gispert i Seriol, a lawyer and violinist who passed away before construction finished.

The building served as headquarters for Atheneum Polytechnicum during the 1930s, contributing to Barcelona's worker education movement and social development.

Casa Castanyer stands as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest with protected status, permitting exterior viewing and photography from adjacent streets.

The structure maintains its original long balcony with decorative openings above the lintel, representing nineteenth-century Neoclassical residential architecture in Barcelona.
