Situated on Rambla Nova -Tarragona’s premier boulevard- Casa Salas Ricomà is a landmark of Catalan Modernism. Commissioned in 1907 by the renowned architect Ramon Salas Ricomà as his private residence, the building remains one of the most significant examples of early 20th-century architecture in the region. Salas Ricomà’s legacy includes the city’s Plaza de Toros and the restoration of several key historic monuments.
The building is distinguished by its ornate corner facade, featuring a prominent gallery and intricate stonework. The architectural language draws from Gothic and Baroque influences, complemented by masterful ironwork. In 2015, the facade underwent a comprehensive restoration, meticulously preserving its original ornamentation, classical proportions, and period-correct materials.
Positioned within walking distance of Tarragona’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, the property offers a rare combination of historical prestige and urban convenience, making it suitable for a private residence, a corporate headquarters, or a heritage investment.
