Can Sagalés
Can Sagalés is a house located in Sant Roc Street, 37-39, in the centre of Vilassar de Mar.
Like most of the houses located in Sant Roc Street, this house was built in the late 19th century, early 20th century.
Can Sagalés is a building consisting of a ground floor and two upper floors. Although it looks like a single building, it is made up of two twin houses, with different entrance doors.
The rich ornamentation of the façade of Can Sagalés, made of sgraffito with floral motifs, is particularly noteworthy. This decoration occupies the entirety of the two floors of the building. Also worthy of note are the windowsills, which are decorated with plant motifs and eclectic floral elements.
The twin windows on the first floor, as well as the corbels on the cornice, are also noteworthy. In addition, the railings in this building are made of wrought iron elements.
