Casa Garí

Monument · Argentona, Maresme, Barcelona

The Casa Garí, in Argentona, was designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch and built between 1898 and 1900 on an old fortified farmhouse owned by the financier Josep Garí, from whom it takes its name; it is declared a cultural asset of national interest. It takes the form of a large fortified manor house, with a quadrangular tower and circular turrets with loopholes, covered with glazed ceramic tiles, and surrounded by a walled enclosure. The complex includes gardens designed by the landscape architect Nicolau Maria Rubió i Tudurí, a neo-Romanesque chapel and a small theatre; outside the estate stands the Torre del Cros, a water tower also the work of Puig i Cadafalch. The house is privately owned and cannot be visited inside.
