Can Pardal, in the heart of the Gràcia neighbourhood, was built as a summer residence in the 19th century and has a very rich history.

Cultural heritage

The humble farmhouse that once stood here is named after the sparrows that gather by its pond. It was demolished under the instructions of Ramon Aymerich, the farmer’s son-in-law, to make way for the construction a magnificent building: chandeliers, ceramic wainscoting, a chapel etc. The chirping of the sparrows coloured the bells of its clock, which replaced the one in the nearby bell tower in Plaça d’Orient – now Plaça Vila de Gràcia – silenced after the revolta de les Quintes (Revolt of the Levies).
?Aymerich set aside part of the new building for the El Globo match factory and for the pharmacy where the famous Juanola pastilles were manufactured.
