Ca les Germanes Ferrer

Ca les Germanes Ferrer displays eclectic and historicist architecture featuring four floors plus a terrace, with a facade decorated by vegetal ornaments and artificial stone inspired by Renaissance ashlar masonry work.

Built between 1904 and 1905 over an old fisherman's house foundation, this residence was erected by a local merchant family seeking to demonstrate their growing social and economic status in the region.

The building features a coat of arms decorated with maritime commerce symbols including Mercury, anchors, a helm, and serpents, reflecting the importance of commercial and maritime activities in Tossa de Mar's cultural identity.

Located on Plaça d'Espanya near the waterfront, the house is easily accessible on foot from the historic center and provides visitors with an excellent opportunity to observe Catalan Noucentista architectural style.

The rear maritime-style facade includes several viewpoints and large covered balconies that likely served as observatories for monitoring port activities and enjoying views of the Mediterranean Sea.
