Torre Castañer, Neoclassical house in Sant Gervasi-la Bonanova, Spain.

Torre Castañer features three symmetrical sections with a central taller body topped by a semicircular pediment decorated with classical sculptural elements.

Spanish poet Antonio Machado found refuge in Torre Castañer during 1938-1939, continuing his contributions to La Vanguardia newspaper until his departure for France.

The building exemplifies 19th-century romantic palace architecture through its grand portico entrance, substantial gardens, and ornate wrought iron fence with heraldic elements.

The residential structure stands at Passeig Sant Gervasi 10, maintaining its original function while designated as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest.

A neo-Arab pavilion from 1888 remains at the edge of the estate, though now separated from the main garden area.
