Basic information:
Location: Camí
de Puiggraciós, s/n. s/n. L'Ametlla
del Vallès (Vallès Oriental) |
This is an old "masia"
(Catalan country house) dated in 1640 and rebuilt in
Modernista (Art Nouveau) style by Manel
Joaquim
Raspall i Mallol between 1.908 and 1.909,
when the house was bought to the old owners the Xammar family by Joan
Millet, a brother of the founder of "Orfeó Català" which
headquarters are located in the "Palau de la
Música Catalana".
Raspall respected the basic house structure and gothic elements as the main
door, double windows etc., but introduced new elements as the pinnacles,
the steeped windows in low and upper floor and the ceramic adorns.
The tower give to the building an imposing aspect. The windows are closed by
decorated crystal. The interior is profusely
decorated with elements as fireplaces, forged iron designing the Catalonian
coat of arms - also in windows gratings - and ceramic panels.
