History and description:
Designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch
in 1892 and finished in the year 1894.
This building was initially the seat of
Charity organizations in Mataró.
This is a very interesting building with two levels, build in apparent
brick on the façade.
That façade has a mature Art Nouveau air, instead of
the young age of the
architect in the time of building construction (25 years old).
The windows are adorned with neo gothic elements and sculptures.
At present the building is occupied by the Patronat Municipal de Cultura de
Mataró (Municipal culture administration of the city of Mataró).
The outside part of building, specially on courtyard is the most
interesting to visit.
