Casal de Benviure, a protected local cultural asset, is an isolated, monumental, and fantastical building erected at the beginning of the 20th century in Castellbisbal (Vallès Occidental) by the owners of Can Coromines. Although construction was completed in 1936, rumors suggest that it was intended to be a spa. With a rectangular ground plan, the building has a ground floor where porches open.
The first floor features an interesting arcade forming a gallery where terraces have been created. The building features a baroque-style curved cornice on its roofline. The eastern facade showcases openings adorned with frontons, pilasters, and balustrades. A tower centered on the roof, topped with a large wooden structure rafter, adds to its grandeur.
Today, Casal de Benviure stands as a significant piece of Castellbisbal’s history and architecture, despite the lack of confirmation regarding its intended use as a spa.
