Built over the remains of a former farmhouse, since 1995 Torre Jussana has been the Centre of the Centre for Services to Associations, a municipal body which offers resources and services of all the social organisations who work to serve the community. The building is an fine example of a French inspired Neoclassical residence.
French elegance
Torre Jussana is a distinguished family residence in Neoclassical style. It draws its inspiration from French buildings such as the Hôtel Guimard, and features a double staircase with a balustrade and a porch with Ionic columns. Its construction was commissioned by the retailer Joaquim Milà de la Roca i Serra.
The watchtower and the municipal team
The name Torre Jussana refers to the watchtower there had once been at this location but which is no longer extant. It was later on, in the 15th century, that the site became the property of the Hieronymite monks of the Vall d’Hebron monastery, after which, in the 16th century, it was turned into a farmhouse.
Its present guise dates back to when it belonged to a wealthy family in the 19th century. It became a school in the 1920s and now belongs to the City Council.
