  • Cultural heritage

French elegance

Torre Jussana is a distinguished family residence in Neoclassical style. It draws its inspiration from French buildings such as the Hôtel Guimard, and features a double staircase with a balustrade and a porch with Ionic columns. Its construction was commissioned by the retailer Joaquim Milà de la Roca i Serra.

The watchtower and the municipal team

The name Torre Jussana refers to the watchtower there had once been at this location but which is no longer extant. It was later on, in the 15th century, that the site became the property of the Hieronymite monks of the Vall d’Hebron monastery, after which, in the 16th century, it was turned into a farmhouse.

Its present guise dates back to when it belonged to a wealthy family in the 19th century. It became a school in the 1920s and now belongs to the City Council.
