La Caixa, an architectural work in the municipality of Sant Vicent dels Horts (Baix Llobregat) listed in the Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya, was built by La Caixa in the 1940s. The building has a symmetrical composition based on the shapes of the openings. The openings are arched, with the lintels and sills in relief and made of stone artificial. The exterior has, for aesthetic interest, a combination of exposed work and plaster. The fronton forms a higher body with the emblem of the entity at the center. The roof is four-sloped and made with Arab tiles. The area of Baix Llobregat had a certain economic autonomy in the 1940s due to the increase in industry. The composition and some historicist elements give the entire structure a certain monumental air.
