Built in 1904, Can Guardiola is an old Modernista residential building that stands out for the originality of its main facade, which takes its inspiration from Catalan Baroque.

  • Cultural heritage

Modernisme in Sant Andreu

Far removed from the better-known Modernista hub, Can Guardiola stands out for its unique facade, with a frontispiece that imitates Catalan Baroque churches and a framework of Barcelona-plateresque-inspired sculpted stone balconies. Inside a mosaic floor, as well as the wall and ceiling decoration reveal a great creative wealth, while the floral sgraffiti and wrought ironwork of the balconies are inspired by the contemporaneous works of the architect Puig i Cadafalch.

An association hotel

Now publicly owned and under the control of the Generalitat, the building has become an association hotel”, in other words, a centre offering support to non-profit associations and organisations with social aims. Sardana dance groups, football clubs, cooperation and support organisations for various illnesses, among others, have offices there.
