Can Bisa
Can Bisa is a building that is also known as Cal Americano, or Cal Cubano. This building is located at Montserrat Street, 2, in the centre of Vilassar de Mar.
Can Bisa is a rectangular house, consisting of a ground floor and an attic. This building was built in 1851.
One of the most outstanding aspects of Can Bisa is its marked neoclassical style. This style can be seen in the three semicircular arches that form the main entrance. In addition, the windows on the ground floor have attached pilasters that run along the façade.
The porthole is also noteworthy, as are the balustrades that enclose the upper roof. This roof is crowned, in the central part, by a decorative border.
