The architectural arcade at Rectoria de Premià

The architectural arcade at Rectoria de Premià

Stepping into this historic asset in Premiá de Mar, you'll find intriguing arcaded and arched details that tell the story of the town – and a piece of history preserved in place.

Overlooking the grassy terrace of the medieval-style Rectoria de Premià de Mar, the arcade and arched details on the façade – and in the archways themselves – are a fascinating glimpse into the town's history. Very well preserved, this Cultural Interest Local asset is, with decorative elements reflecting the style of popular architecture, but with details inspired by a medieval style. The use of medieval-era style elements on facades was common even for buildings with ecclesiastical links at the time, reflecting the town's history.
