Stepping into the past through a window, your gaze is met by a woman's head and a man's head with a turban in Barcelona's Horta. The Torre Mas Enrich, a local cultural landmark, stands as a landmark of history amidst modern buildings.

Torre Mas Enrich, also called Torre del Moro due to the man with a turban in the window, is a cultural landmark located in the Horta barrio of Barcelona. Originally part of the Can Fontaner farm, this historic manor was used as a stopover by troops on their way to Castell de Valldaura.

The tower is a square building, currently between modern buildings, and was part of the old Mas Enrich. The entrance door is avoussoir arch and features two windows placed on the same axis in successive floors. In the first-floor window, there is a woman's head and a man's head with a turban. The building is in a poor state of preservation.
