Casa de les Altures, Protected house in El Baix Guinardó, Spain

The Casa de les Altures features Neo-Mudéjar architecture with covered entrance gallery and upper level displaying Arabic architectural elements.

Built in 1890 by master builder Enric Figueras for Nicolau Recúlez Chevalier, the engineer director of Barcelona Water Company.

The building serves as headquarters for the Horta-Guinardó district, housing administrative services and a conference room in its basement.

Located next to Parc de les Aigües at Ronda Guinardó 49-51, visitors can access the administrative offices during business hours.

The name Casa de les Altures derives from the water pumping motors that elevated water to nearby storage tanks.
