Escoles Prat de la Riba building, address: Av. Prat de la Riba, 36. The school was built in 1911. The institution, whose history goes back a hundred years, exists within these walls to this day. Architect Pere Caselles.

Caselles paid great attention to the requirements that followed from the pedagogical purpose of the complex, and sought to ensure that the learning process took place in the most comfortable conditions. Therefore, he created very bright interior spaces. Play areas in the school yard are planted with trees and well ventilated.

Four ceramic panels were designed for the facade of the school, dedicated to the scenes of Christ's childhood, starting with the Annunciation. The presence of these panels on the faç ade of the building is considered to be a sign of the New Sentism style, which is replacing Art Nouveau.
