A listed building

The Can Verdaguer farmhouse, which belonged to the Berenguer Verdaguer family, is a 16th-century construction deservedly listed as a piece of the City’s Historical Heritage. The building we can see today is the result of various alterations carried out on a 14th-century base. Those undertaken between 1858 and 1931 gave it its current structure.

The house’s defining traits are a sundial, a round-arched entrance with voussoirs and a garden at the back with the tallest palm tree in Barcelona. It is 27 metres tall and dates from the late 19th century.

The last masia in Barcelona

The farmhouse stands in an area rich in streams, where animal fodder and vegetables were grown. The agricultural activity continued until the surrounding land was developed in 1987. Tenant farmers lived at Can Verdaguer until 2006, when Barcelona City Council acquired the farmhouse with the aim of converting it into a neighbourhood facility in the Porta area.
