Discovering the Unique Facade of Casa Iglesias Òdena: A Masterpiece of Spanish

Step into the stunning world of Casa Iglesias Òdena, a masterpiece designed by Pere Caselles. Be captivated by its intricate modernist-style stone details.

Located in Reus, Spain, Casa Iglesias Òdena was constructed in 1908 by Josep Iglesias Òdena, with elegantly detailed architectural designs by Pere Caselles. The ground floor of the house boasts the most accurate sculpted details in modernist-style stone. The façade, made entirely of natural stone with varying decorations at the base of the pilasters, is divided into nine vertical axes. The first-floor balcony design repeats in three axes, while the second floor offers a different design, and the third floor balcony is arched. Casa Iglesias Òdena is composed of one ground floor and three levels, with three staircases for the neighbors, creating an impression of a massive building. Today, two of the house’s entrances serve as commercial spaces. Casa Iglesias Òdena is a part of the Reus Modernism Route.
