Can Papí, a protected cultural asset of local interest in the municipality of Masnou (Maresme), Spain, is a grand manor designed by architect Josep Goday i Casals. Built in 1890 and restored in 1925, the symmetrical stone structure boasts a Portland stone facade, six openings protected with wooden shutters, and a balcony that protrudes from the side. However, what truly sets Can Papí apart is the carved sailboat adorning the facade between the two upper openings. Although the house was decorated with frescoes by Goday i Casals, the sailboat motif is what truly highlights its unique identity, representing the owners' affinity for the sea.
