Canals House

Monument · Vilafranca del Penedès, Alt Penedès, Barcelona

A house sharing party walls on Carrer Amàlia Soler, 26-28, in Vilafranca del Penedès, with a ground floor, mezzanine and two upper floors under a two-pitched Arabic-tile roof and flat roof terrace, a rear courtyard and a side entrance. It shows two distinct volumes and a façade in an eclectic idiom with Modernista overtones. It stands in an area of urban expansion begun in the late nineteenth century; the renovation was commissioned by Àngela Canals, widow of Jaume Esteve, from the architect Antoni Pons i Domínguez, whose façade design was submitted on 25 May 1920 and approved on 23 June of the same year.
