Güell Winery
Francesc d'Assís Berenguer i Mestres, Antoni Gaudí i Cornet
It is a small building intended to store the wines grown on the estate that Eusebi Güell had in Garraf. The construction is formed by three orders of parabolic arches, which decrease as they move up, in a way that they form a pronounced gabled roof. The winery is located on the edge of the road, next to a large slope. The whole factory is of pumice stone masonry, with monolithic reinforcements at the corners, and boldly unloaded in some places, as at the entrance to the chapel on the upper level. Although its authorship has always been attributed to Francesc Berenguer, Gaudí's intervention in some details on a smaller scale is clear, such as the chimneys, the access door and the latticework. The intermediate level, which houses the administrator's apartment, connects with the street level and with the access, where the slope of the roof rises gently and forms a profile similar to a pagoda.1895 - 1900

Manuel Planas Carbonell House
Building between partitions with a ground floor and two floors, on the corner of Carrer Illa de Cuba and Carrer Sant Gaudenci. The chamfered corner is resolved by means of a tribune which occupies the two floors, with interesting coloured glass. The openings on the floors are balconies with iron railings and framed at the top by mouldings with floral decoration. The building ends in straight lines with stylised arched pediments with centred palmette. On the façade facing Carrer Sant Gaudenci there is a covered gallery with a large rounded window. The documentation found on this building is not sufficiently explicit. The inventory file of the Architects' Association of Barcelona attributes the work to the master builder Gaietà Miret i Reventós and places its construction in 1908. On the other hand, the Sitges Municipal Archive preserves a plan of the project (with the name "Casa Ollé") signed by the architect Josep Pujol i Brull in 1907. It is possible that, for some reason, the master builder Gaietà Miret was commissioned to carry out J. Pujol's original project. A few years ago, the house was in a considerable state of neglect, but it has now been refurbished. In any case, the works corresponding to these dates seem to have been carried out on a pre-existing building constructed in 1881.1907 - 1908

Clock House
Gaietà Buïgas i Monravà, Ignasi Mas Morell
The Clock House is one of the most characteristic buildings in Sitges, and it stands on the corner between Carrer Major and Carrer A. Vidal and opens onto the Plaça Cap de la Vila, to whose configuration it makes a decisive contribution. It is a large building between partitions, with a ground floor, three floors and a roof with a sinuous railing. It is accessed through three doors, two of them located on Carrer Major and Carrer A. Vidal, and the third and main door on the square. The distribution of the rest of the openings, which are generally rectangular, is rectangular. The most remarkable part of the building is the one on the corner with Carrer Major, which has a wooden tribune on the first floor and, above all, an overhanging tower, where the clock that gives the house its name is located and which ends in a spike covered with a mosaic of white, yellow and blue tiles. Overall, the decorative elements play a very important role in the external appearance of the building: ceramics, iron and sgraffito, although the latter are quite damaged. The Clock House, known as "Casa del Rellotge" is located at Cap de la Vila, where in the 17th century there was one of the six gates of the new wall of Sitges. This area was reformed according to the initial project by Gaietà Buïgas i Monravà, approved on 17-6-1889 and carried out with many modifications by Ignasi Mas i Morell in 1913. In December 1912, permission was requested for the construction of the building. The project was presented in May 1913 and was approved by the Town Council. The work was completed in 1915 – the date that appears sgraffitoed on the corner of Carrer d'Àngel Vidal.1889 - 1913

Maricel Palace
The Maricel complex is made up of several buildings arranged on both sides of Fonollar Street and joined by a bridge. They are two large blocks known as Maricel de Mar and Maricel de Terra, and they were built with artistic elements from various periods and styles. Maricel de Mar is built on the rocks. The tower facing the bastion is a remarkable element. It has battlements, semi-circular arch access door, cone-shaped window and the image of the Archangel Saint Michael. Maricel de Terra is made up of a set of buildings with an irregular layout that are located between Fonollar, Sant Joan and La Davallada Streets. In this sector it is necessary to mention the "Recó de la Calma", with the access door and the capitals. The capitals, made by the sculptor Pere Jou, form a series of fifty with varied themes: fables, characters from the beginning of the 20th century, traditions, etc. In 1910, Charles Deering acquired the building of the old hospital of Saint John the Baptist, which had been built in the 14th century and enlarged in the 19th century with the aim of transforming it, along with other buildings, into a residence-museum. Miquel Utrillo oversaw the works, as well as being the administrator. The building was built with architectural elements from various origins and periods and already in 1913 contained important artistic pieces. On 18-10-1915 the Great Hall was inaugurated. In 1921, Charles Deering left for the United States with a large part of Maricel's works, which remained empty for many years. In 1932, the Board of Museums of Barcelona decided to reuse Maricel as a museum, which was inaugurated on 14-6-1936. The building is currently owned by the City Council and the County Council and is mainly dedicated to artistic and cultural activities. Capitals In 1915 the Barcelona sculptor Pere Jou arrived in Sitges called by Miquel Utrillo with the purpose of decorating the Maricel buildings with a set of about fifty capitals. The artist completed the commission and subsequently settled permanently in the town. At present, the capitals, some of which had been badly damaged, are in the process of restoration.1913 - 1915

Virella House
Isolated building of large dimensions and rectangular floor plan consisting of ground floor, two floors and attic. The roof has a two-slope pitched roof with two levels of Arabic tiles. The composition of the façade is almost symmetrical (one of the wings is more symmetrical than the other), while the central body is higher. The ground floor has been extensively modified. Access to the inn is through the first floor, which has two semicircular-arched windows at the ends and several openings in the central body with a basket-handle arch. A masonry canopy separates the first and second floors. On the first floor there is a gallery formed by five semicircular arches and rectangular balconies on both sides, with iron railings. The attic floor is occupied by small openings framed with exposed brick in the lateral bodies, and a central gallery of eight arches, also made of brick. According to the Sitges Municipal Archives, in 1919 Joan Vilella asked the Town Council for permission to build a house on Passeig de la Ribera in accordance with plans drawn up by the architect Joan Rubio i Bellver and signed in April. Approval was given on 5th May of the same year. The building, which follows the Noucentista style, has elements that still have a modernist and eclectic Noucentista essence, mainly the use of exposed brick and the oriental-inspired decoration (the arches in the first floor gallery).1919

Casabó House
The house was designed by Mitjans during his time as a student, before the Spanish Civil War, and under the predominant influence of the ideas of the GATCPAC. In the same way as other architects of the time, he starts from a neoclassical scheme, linked to the brick factory, and alters it with absolute freedom, in accordance with the programme and the interpretation of the site. The house rises one floor to favour the sea views. It is accessed tangentially from the terrace, linked to the living room, on the south façade. The west wing is used for bedrooms and is slightly higher than the rest of the house. The east wing contains only the kitchen and service rooms, and leaves room for large terraces that act as a cover for the wheeled access. Five cylindrical pillars protect the terrace from the access on the west side and shape the image of the house seen from the promenade.1934 - 1935

Catasús House
José Antonio Coderch de Sentmenat, Manuel Valls i Vergés
The Vinyet neighborhood has a mainly flat topography, and Coderch chose to create a system of domestic spaces in this house, referring exclusively to the large garden of the plot, without any reference to the outside. Thus, the house is configured on a single floor and basically forms an L that embraces the garden. One of the arms of this L includes the bedrooms, while the other contains the dining room and living room. The entrance takes place behind the body of the bedrooms, hidden from the garden, and gives access to a third arm that includes the kitchen and restrooms. All the openings leading to the garden can be opened and practiced flat, or they can be closed with shutters of the same height as the factory-built house. Thus, the house becomes a set of areas on a single level where the garden unifies the main parts of domestic life, while the entrance and services remain hidden at the back and generate their own outdoor spaces.1956 - 1958

Gili House
José Antonio Coderch de Sentmenat, Manuel Valls i Vergés
The peculiarity of the program leads Coderch to rehearse an unprecedented distribution organisation, on a plot neighbouring the Catasús house, built ten years earlier. From the entrance you reach a distributor connected to a patio that gives light to the central areas, and which is conceived as a semi-covered greenhouse. From here you can access the garden through a small porch, and the bedroom area through a second, completely independent distributor. The living room has its back to the parking plot and adopts a fairly closed configuration, although facing south and the garden. The dining room takes on special importance, being in the visual axis that crosses the whole house, from the bedrooms to the opposite façade, where there is a second semi-covered patio. Coderch conceives an L-shaped house, with a large central axis, in which the situation of each room is determined by its intrinsic configuration and by the position it occupies in the general circulation system.1965 - 1966
