Can Roure, a Noucentist manor in Premiá de Mar, was constructed in the early 20th century as a summer retreat for Josep Canudas i Boner, a Catalan textile tycoon who amassed his fortune trading textiles. Today, it serves as the Court of Peace, the lowest tier of Spanish courts. Can Roure, located on Sant Antoni Street 21-27, is smack in the center of Premiá de Mar. It offers a striking example of Noucentist architecture. The building's layout is rectangular, with a single floor and three perpendicular wings. The main facade showcases a central entrance and two large openings, each with plain molding and a decorated lintel. The lintel is adorned with relief garlands. A cornice and a balustrade top the terrace, and the facade's finish mimics carved stone. Originally built as a summer retreat, Can Roure was known as one of the most talked-about houses in the Maresme region.
