Cultural heritage
Two dynasties with heaps of experience
These premises bear witness to the history of very unique two families: pasta and semolina manufacturers, the Figueras family embarked on their venture in 1820 and moved to this location in 1846 while the Escribà clan of bakers and confectioners set up their family business in 1906. Today’s Casa Figueras satisfies the sweetest desires of locals and visitors: here you can buy, order and taste all kinds of pastries, cakes, bonbons, cake pops, cupcakes and biscuits, among many other temptations.
The Modernista reform
Today’s Casa Figueras keeps a good part of the look it had been given by the theatrical designer Ros i Güell following its remodelling in 1902. Ros was surrounded by Modernista craftsmen and designed a complete renovation including stained glass windows, ironwork, paintings and sculptural ornaments, notable among which is the mosaic work by the Italian artist Maragliano.
