The Edifici de la Caixa de Pensions in the municipality of Sant Vicenç dels Horts (Baix Llobregat) is listed in the Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya. Built in the 1940s, the building is a corner structure with a ground floor and two floors centered at the side of the building. Its composition is symmetrical based on the shapes of the openings.
The openings are of lintel and round arch types, with lintels and sills in relief made of artificial stone. Under the cornice, there is a series of dentils. The exterior presents a combination of exposed work and plaster for aesthetic interest. 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 during the time of construction due to the increase in industry. The composition and some historicist elements give the entire structure a certain monumental air.
