A Noucentista jewel with history<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The House of Faust<\/strong> is a Noucentista <\/strong>work designed in the 1920s by the architect Josep Goday i Casals<\/strong>. It contrasts with the modernist exuberance of the time and stands out for its harmonious sobriety and the sgraffito with marine and floral motifs designed by Francesc Canyelles<\/strong>. <\/p>

Among the most unique details are the exposed brick balcony with an organic cornice, the artisan wrought<\/strong> iron railings, and curious elements such as the iron by the door to clean shoes or the light holes in the floor that illuminate the basement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

A space that speaks of Faust<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Inside, the house preserves intimate spaces that evoke the life and interests of Carl Faust<\/strong>: the living room with cross vaults, the dining room with a fireplace, or his private library<\/strong>.<\/p>

The sculptural corbels by Carles Collet<\/strong>, representing a botanist and a gardener, symbolize the union between science and technique<\/strong>. In addition, paintings, sculptures and furniture testify to the founder\u2019s artistic and cultural taste<\/strong>. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

More than a visit<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Entering the House of Faust means immersing oneself in the story of a man who devoted his life to science, art and nature<\/strong>. An experience that brings us closer to the origin of Marimurtra <\/strong>and to the unique legacy that Carl Faust left in the Mediterranean<\/strong>. <\/p>
