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 16th-century foundationsThose undertaken between 1858 and 1931 gave it its current structure.

The house’s defining traits are a sun dial, an entrance with a semi-circular voussoir arch and a garden at the back with the tallest palm tree in Barcelona. It is 27 metres tall and dates from the 19th century.

The last masia in barcelona

The masia stands in an area rich in fast-flowing streams, where animal fodder and vegetables were sowed. 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.
