Villa Jazmines, known today as the “Torre Rosa” (Pink House), is actually one of the summer residences the indianos had built when they returned from overseas.

Cultural heritage

This colonial-style tower can be found at the intersection of Carrer Pinar del Río and Carrer Francesc Tàrrega, before Carrer de Cuba, a symbol of the neighbourhood of Els Indians. It was designed by the architect Ferran Tarragó in 1920 and commissioned by José Racionero Torres. It housed the Ferton school from the 1950s until 1987 when a musical bar was set up there, and then it was called Torre Rosa. The house retains its central tower, old balcony and the palm trees in the garden. There had been other stately towers in the district in the past. Such is the case with Can Biosca by Domènec Biosca i Galcerán, the Torre de l’Italià by Reinaldo Balanzasca on Carrer Jordi de Sant Jordi, and Torre de Gallinaire on Carrer Francesc Tàrrega, owned by Carmen Palomé, the poultry businesswoman.
