La Masia Freixa is a modernist building in Terrassa, renovated by the architect Lluís Muncunill between 1905 and 1910. The original structure was built in 1896 as a textile factory, until the industrialist Josep Freixa transformed it into a family residence. This dual identity contributes to its charm: an industrial building reinterpreted through modernist aesthetics. Its white walls, parabolic arches and sinuous silhouette reveal a clear Gaudian influence. The octagonal lookout tower and the successive porches complete this emblematic example of Catalan industrial modernism.
This is good to know
The interior preserves furniture designed specifically for the house, an elegant trace of the bourgeois life of the early twentieth century.
The house’s former romantic gardens are now Sant Jordi Park: a private garden that eventually became Terrassa’s first public park, opened in 1954.
