The Catllaràs chalet is a curious modernist building built by Gaudí and located in the mountain range of the same name. It is surprising for its peculiar shape and architectural details that correspond to the naturalistic stage of the famous Catalan architect.

In the middle of the forests of the Serra del Catllaràs we find the Villa designed by Antoni Gaudí in 1902.

It housed the technicians and engineers of the Catllaràs coal mines, exploited at the beginning of the 20th century by the Portland cement company Asland.

In 1932 the company transferred it to the City Council.

In the 1940s the condition of the building was already quite bad and in 1971 it was renovated as a dormitory, replacing its most characteristic element, the spiral staircase, with a metal one.

At the end of the 80s, due to changes in regulations, it fell into disuse and in a state of considerable degradation.

It is currently in the process of restoration.
