Casa Ferrer o Casa del Conde

The arrival of the Renaissance, in the 16th century, marked the beginning of a notable expansion in civic architecture in the region, characterised by a general sobriety in façades, the use of the characteristic round arch, and the presence of arcaded galleries on the upper floors, and a large wooden or stone eaves to crown the construction.

Casa Ferrer, also known as Casa del Conde, is a prominent example of this Renaissance civic architecture, dated to the 17th century. This splendid building is constructed in ashlar masonry and features a main doorway which, although currently blocked up, shows a round arch with dovelas, whose keystone bears the coat of arms of the owning family. On the ground floor, two robust wrought-iron grilles crowned with zoomorphic figures stand out. On the second floor, three openings are set with moulded lintels, each with a different design.

The current access door is rectangular and is set into a wall that leads to a side courtyard. Above this wall, merlons of a style similar to those of the «Portal de les Creus» can be seen, adding a distinctive architectural element to the building's façade.
