In 1898 building work began on the Pere Mata psychiatric institute, one of the great projects of the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. The building marked the beginning of the brilliant Catalan modernist era in the city of Reus. After its completion, Domènech went on to design other buildings here and the spirit of Catalan modernism spread vigorously throughout the whole city.

Built by the architech Lluis Domenech i Montaner, Casa Navas is one of the best examples of European Art Nouveau. The house was built between 1902 and 1908, and is located in the very centre of the city of Reus. Casa Navas was a project for the marriage of merchants Joaquim Navas and Josepa Blasco. It was a building that housed their new dwelling and their clothing business. It showed the Mercadal square an imposing facade of stone with a tower located in the corner, now lost to the Spanish Civil War. Casa Navas is open every day for visits. The tickets are for sale in the official website, in Casa Navas, and in Reus Tourism Office.

Coming from the U.K. we have a plethora of beautiful homes and palaces - for interiors this takes the prize. Simply stunning if very indulgent - the pink fireplace and bathroom were our personal favourites. Really like stepping back in time and as if the owners had just popped out for a walk. So unspoilt, so ornate, yet a family home. Our guide, Pilar, did a great job of running a tour in Spanish and English - a good way To practice Spanish too to see how much you pick up before the English version. Just sad the owner didn’t live to enjoy, just his widow, but nice to see in the heirs it found someone to love it. Look forward to seeing the external tower and coronet renovations. Remember to look out for the moth mosaic as you enter ! Yes 10/11 euros not cheap and you can only take photos on entry- but creating priceless memories to us well worthwhile and nice not to see through a phone lease. Don’t miss if you visit Reus- so lucky that it has recently opened to the public . Hopefully something sympathetic will be done with the original linen store that is now empty. Maybe a cloth/linen themed cafe? Brilliant building outside and in.
