托尔托萨历史中心罕见的现代主义地标

One of the most architecturally significant residences in southern Catalonia, a striking modernist palace located in the heart of Tortosa's historic and cultural district. Built in 1910 by master builder J.M. Vaquer, this extraordinary property was designed as a private residence and today stands as a beautifully preserved example of early 20th-century Catalan Modernisme. ~~What sets this residence apart is its impressive three-storey corner tower, crafted from wood and topped with a metal roof and weathervane, an architectural statement piece visible from every angle. The façade features elegant sgraffito artwork with stylized floral motifs, beautifully maintained iron balconies, and glazed galleries that reflect the finest craftsmanship of the period. ~~Situated on a prominent corner plot with access from multiple streets, the layout was masterfully adapted to its urban setting. A majestic spiral staircase, flooded with natural light from a central skylight, forms the backbone of the interior, connecting each level with grace and grandeur. Inside, the property is rich in artistic detail including hand-painted murals, original decorative plaster moldings finished in gold leaf and color, and a range of techniques including marble wainscoting, stencil work, and layered sgraffito that lend depth, texture, and character to every space. ~~While preserving its historic charm, this property has been carefully updated to meet modern standards. A contemporary elevator serves all floors, and electrical, plumbing, and heating systems have been modernized for current use. The building is perfectly suited for a wide range of uses, from a private residence to a boutique hotel, a cultural center, high-end offices, or corporate headquarters. ~~Located in Tortosa, a key hub in southern Catalonia, the city is the capital of the Baix Ebre region and is known for its rich history, strategic location, and vibrant cultural life. With excellent infrastructure, including high-speed rail (AVE), highways, seaports, and proximity to Reus and Barcelona airports, Tortosa is a gateway to both the Ebro Delta natural reserve and the Mediterranean coastline. ~~This property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural heritage with exceptional potential, whether as a luxury residence, an exclusive hospitality project, or a long-term investment in one of Catalonia's most promising regions.~~For further details or to arrange a private viewing, please contact us.
