Casa Vidal, designed by the architect Miquel Pascual i Tintorer, houses the old Cafè Versalles on the ground floor, now completely refurbished.

  • Cultural heritage

Casa Vidal

This five-storey, terrace-roof building with a pale green facade stands out for its numerous typically Modernista features: winding balconies with wrought-iron balustrades, trencadís under the balconies, sgraffito on the facade and the rusticated corner finished off with a pinnacle. The house was built for the flour merchant and businessman Francesc Guardiola at the start of the  20th century. It is a listed building in the City Council’s heritage catalogue.

Bar Versalles

Casa Vidal, on Carrer Gran de Sant Andreu, is famous for a bar on the ground floor, the old Bar Versalles, founded in 1915. This site is currently occupied by a restaurant and the bar’s basement, once a cellar and storage room used as a shelter during the Spanish Civil War, is now a function room that holds all kinds of events.
