Even today, in the 21st century, this neighbourhood centre remains true to the original spirit it opened with in 1928: as a leisure and social meeting place for the local residents.

A social club for the people of the neighbourhood

In the early 20th century, a group of journalists and residents of the neighbourhood created a residents association aimed at discussing the urbanisation of the Font d’en Fargues neighbourhood and stimulating its social and recreational activities. They set up their headquarters at the Casino building, constructed in 1928 under the supervision of the Noucentista architect Adolf Florensa on land ceded to the association by its owners, Mateu Rovira and Concepció Ribó. The residents association operated as a recreational and cultural cooperative: it was a facility open to the neighbourhood.

From casino to parish social centre

The building consisted of a café and a theatre, but its services grew over the years thanks to the contributions of the members and residents themselves. During the post-war period, the Casino survived with great difficulty, but was finally sold. Some years later it was bought by the parish, which founded the San Antonio de Padua Family Centre there. It currently belongs to the City Council and is managed by the Casal Font d’en Fargues Association, expressly created to maintain the spirit with which it was opened: to promote recreational, social, artistic and educational activities.
