Villa Francisca is a modernist style tower built at the beginning of the 20th century. It is a quadrangular building with a quadrangular tower attached to the west end of the south façade. It consists of ground floor, floor and attic and has a two-sided roof with a perpendicular ridge to the façade. The tower has four levels of height and has a roof on four sides. The openings of the construction are partly straight and partly curved arches, some with decorative awnings, while those on the upper level are of smaller dimensions and are grouped in the form of a gallery. At one end of the west façade there are external stairs attached, with a stone pillar decorated with plants that lead to an entrance door, located to the north. On this last façade, a polygonal body is attached to the upper part as a passable terrace. The south façade presents two horizontal galleries with three porticoes with a lowered arch, ceramic on the ground floor and plastered on the floor. The porches on the ground floor, where there is an access portal, are closed with a wrought-iron gate. The west and east façades are topped by a remarkable sinuous gable decorated at the ends with acanthus leaves. The eaves are finished with gables and the roof of the tower has glazed ceramics. The external treatment of the walls is plastered and painted with a stone plinth, as well as vegetal sgraffitos on the west end and on the tower, where it says "YEAR 1906", "VILLA FRANCISCA" and a sundial, respectively. On the ground floor, several modernist decorative elements are preserved, such as the stained-glass windows and openings with floral motifs, the wrought-iron staircase railing, the mosaic floors and the fireplace. The house is surrounded by a large garden, where the original portal and a farmhouse are preserved.
It was built by Mr. Ignasi Font, who gave it to the Congregation of the Missionaries of the Holy Family of Nazareth after the Civil War. It then became known as "El Pilar" and was used to house destitute girls. Later, it was destined for spiritual exercises. After being unoccupied for a few years, in 2007 it was renovated to be used as a dormitory.
It is also known as the House of the Missionaries of Nazareth, Can Font, the Llobeta Tower or the Llobeta Convent.
