Casa Madurell is a simple apartment building with four floors of flats. The bulging, wrought-iron railings round the balconies and the trencadís balcony bottoms stand out.

  • Cultural heritage

This building of 1909 is attributed to Francesc Berenguer i Mestres, although it has none of the identifying feature of other that architect’s other works: stucco spirals and mouldings and a notable importance of sgraffiti. In fact, it is a design of extreme compositional and ornamental simplicity. It only resorts to stone in the simple low wall-base, and brick is given the task of defining the rest of the façade. The stippled stucco panels may once have contained the sgraffiti in designs associated with Berenguer.
