Can Casas
Gran casa de planta rectangular cobert a dues aigües. El cos principal està format per una planta baixa, planta primera i golfes però la part que està al peu del camí té una sola alçada. La primera crugia, adossada a la carretera, és d'una sola planta coberta amb terrat a sota del qual hi havia els cups. La segona, de planta baixa, pis i golfes, conté l'altra part dels cellers i habitatges. La tercera, cos d'escala, respon a una ampliació dels voltants del 1920. Les característiques més importants són: l'estructura portant de jàsseres de fusta i tirants metàl·lics. També els enteixinats de la planta noble, les obertures policromades, rajoles d'ornamentació ceràmica i el treball ornamental fet amb pedra artificial a les baranes del terrat i de maó vist a les façanes. Va ser construïda per iniciativa de J.Casas i Chocomeli, dedicat al comerç del vi i important propietari de finals del segle XIX i principis de l'actual. Així ho demostren el gran celler i els cups existents a les dependències de la casa. Actualment l'edifici és propietat de l'Ajuntament del Bruc i és destinat a equipaments locals.1888 - 1889

Cal Diaz
Summer house with a rectangular ground plan, main floor and attached tower. As a whole, it has a harmonious architectural composition with a certain Mediterranean spirit and white façades. At the same time, however, elements of Catalan Art Nouveau colouring can be seen, such as the chimney covered with ceramic tiles, the roof of blue and yellow varnished tiles, and also the exposed brickwork on the roofs, especially the railing and the Solomonic column and the arches of the openings made of repainted brick. The terrace and arcades are much later constructions. Restored in 1991. Project in the name of J. Diaz Vidal, dated 7 January 1913. The tower does not appear in the project. -
Torrent de l'Illa Bridge
Bridge with three arches. The central arch is quite large and is supported by two pillars. The whole structure is a combination of exposed brick and stone. The railings, placed years after the inauguration, are made of cast iron. It is built over the block’s stream and serves as a link between the centres of Bruc de Baix and the Parish. The work was promoted by J. Casas i Chocomeli, who was mayor of El Bruc. The project was drawn up in 1916 based on an agreement of the Permanent Council of the Mancomunitat de Catalunya (Commonwealth of Catalonia) of 1915. The works began in 1917, were resumed in 1921 and completed in 1922. It is owned by the Barcelona Provincial Council and crosses the Can Dalmasses stream, serving as a link. At the time of its construction, it was the widest span masonry structure ever built in Catalonia.1917 - 1922

Cal Calvo
Casa d'estiueig unifamiliar entre mitjaneres formada per dos cossos, un de planta baixa i pis i una torre adossada de planta baixa, pis i golfes. A la façana s'observen elements decoratius que recorden l'estil gòtic com són els emmarcaments de finestres. La torratxa, construïda posteriorment, segueix un estil neogòtic molt clar en l'arc del balcó. Tant a l'exterior com a l'interior està ornamentat amb rajoles de ceràmica. Al menjador és característic el sostre d'embigat de fusta on el fris de la paret està decorat amb inscripcions de consells d'elogis a l'art i a la vida. Al 1914, Josep Calvo i Verdonces comprà un terreny a Joan Elias i Creus per a edificar-hi una casa. La idea del projecte i la organització interior de l'edificació va ser obre del mateix J.Calvo, essent l'arquitecte Gilralt i Casadesús, l'autor del projecte. Al 1915 es construeix una primera part, el 1925 s'edifica la torre amb un petit angles anteriorment destinat a jardinet. Al 1930 s'allarga l'edificació cap al torrent.1915 - 1925

Monument to the Battle of Bruc
The monument to the Battle of Bruc is a statue, the work of the sculptor Frederic Marès (1952), made of a single block of stone, and represents the figure of a legendary drummer, born in Santpedor, who with his drumming would have made the French troops flee, in the belief that a large army was approaching. Freestanding statue in stone of a single block. It represents the figure of a young man in peasant clothing from the early 19th century, carrying a blunderbuss and playing the drum. The base is a pedestal also made of stone built with large blocks of carved stone, bearing the inscription of the name of the town and the date 1808. It is located in a triangular space – the confluence of two roads – with a small natural park behind it. In 1914, "the monument that will be erected in that town to commemorate the Battle of Bruch" was declared a national monument. The monument, which effectively commemorates the battle of June 6 and 14, 1808 against Napoleonic troops, was not erected, however, until 1952, at an intersection of roads at the exit of Bruc del Mig. Monument erected in memory of singular feats during the Napoleonic War that dispelled the myth of invincibility and thwarted Napoleon's plans. According to legend, a young drummer from Sampedor with his drum rolls made the French believe that a large army was approaching. The battles of Bruc took place on June 6 and 14, 1808, and the French army was defeated. It was inaugurated in July 1952 in another location (where the schools are now) and moved in 1960. The statue inaugurated in 1952 was made of plaster and in 1954 it was replaced by the definitive stone one.1952
