BARCELONA, Spain. Baroque building


Can Querol, Baroque building in Passeig Maragall.

Can Querol was a country house whose existence has been documented since the 17th century. The current building, however, was built between 1773 and 1775. In 1950 the Fundació Valldejuli established a residence for elderly couples there. It is a late-baroque building with four winds protected as an Asset of Local Interest. On its facades you can still distinguish, although very deteriorated, the sgraffito that decorated them. The porthole windows in the attic are also characteristic, typical of the architecture of the time.
