Ca la Xalma is a civil building in Premià de Mar, located in the Maresme region. It is protected as a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local (BCIL) and is registered in the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Catalonia.
The building consists of a rectangular floor plan covered by a terrace. At the center, a longitudinal body rises to form the main floor of the building. The structure is distinguished by its Modernist ornamentation, which is dominated by curved lines.
Every opening features very pronounced semicircular lintels. The upper crowning of the building combines concave and convex lines on both the front and back. The wall enclosing the terrace also utilizes curved lines to provide movement. Additionally, brickwork is used as a decorative element to draw lines across the surfaces.
The property is surrounded by a courtyard enclosed by a wall and a metal grate.
