Casa Navàs
Designed by the renowned architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, stands as one of the finest examples of Modernism at both European and international levels
A Jewel in the Heart of Reus
Constructed between 1901 and 1907 in Plaça del Mercadal, Casa Navàs was commissioned by textile merchant Joaquim Navàs as his home and shop. The building’s façade has become a city icon, making it a must-see for visitors to Reus and the Costa Daurada.
Rich Interior and Unique Features
Casa Navàs offers visitors a stunning interior filled with mosaics, stained glass windows, and intricate marquetry. Despite damage from the Spanish Civil War bombings, the interior remains vibrant with original furniture, colorful rooms, and beautiful patios. The impeccable interior decoration has been preserved almost entirely intact.
Exemplary Modernist Decorative Arts
Casa Navàs showcases some of the world’s best examples of modernist decorative arts, including ceramics, mosaics, sgraffito, stonework, and stained glass. The period furniture, crafted by the famous cabinetmaker Gaspar Homar, adds to the building’s historical value.
A Unique Patio and Historical Legacy
A unique patio illuminates the residential rooms with natural light, while the ground floor shop benefits from stunning windows and stained glass. The 1938 bombings destroyed the slender tower, terrace arches, and some stained glass windows, but much of the building’s beauty remains.
