Berch i Galtés House

Monument · Vilafranca del Penedès, Alt Penedès, Barcelona

The Casa Berch i Galtés, or Casa Suriol, stands in the Poble Nou district of Vilafranca del Penedès, in the 19th-century extension area, facing the Parc Tívoli and on the corner with Carrer del Parlament. It is an eclectic building, rectangular in plan, with ground floor, an upper floor and attics beneath a four-pitched roof, plus an annexed ground-floor wing; the attics feature ornamental tiles and a machicolation. It has a rear garden with an enclosed porch and an upper terrace. It was designed, at the commission of Josep Suriol, by the master builder Josep Inglada i Estrada, who dated the project 4 August 1884; the town council approved it eight days later. It is protected as a cultural asset of local interest.
