A farmhouse between blocks

Wedged between apartment blocks, the Can Baró farmhouse today has an appearance far removed from what had once been an isolated building that dominated the extensive terrain around it. The exact year when the farmhouse was built is not known. You can see the year 1674 written on a stone lintel on the facade, but that year is believed to be when an older building was renovated. Now converted into a school, it had once operated as a hospital during the Civil War.

The sundial farmhouse

The building has a basilical floor plan and curved coping. It is in three storeys with attics. On the symmetrical facade there are three balconies on the first floor and three windows on the second, while square stone blocks decorate the bays and protrude from the facade. None of the original windows remains in the attics. They are replaced by a sundial which overlooks the facade.
