The Rectoria in Premià de Mar is a well-preserved building of popular style with eclectic decorative elements.

The Rectoria in Premià de Mar is a building located on Carrer de la Rectoria, not far from the church of Sant Cristòfol. It is protected as a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local (BCIL 9088-I) and is included in the Architectural Heritage Inventory of Catalonia.

Although it is a building of popular style, the facade features decorative elements such as arches and brackets that are more eclectic than historicist in style. This use of medieval style elements on facades was very common at the beginning of the 20th century for buildings with ecclesiastical links.

Today, the house remains well-preserved as a piece of local heritage. It stands as an example of how these stylistic choices were integrated into the local landscape during the early 20th century.
