Former School of Arts and Crafts (Caterina Albert Institute)

Originally built as a night shelter (a function it never fulfilled), the building has housed since 1893 the Municipal School of Arts and Crafts of Sant Martí de Provençals, dedicated to technical and industrial training. Made of stone and brick, it is notable for its façade divided into five sections, decorated with polychrome ceramics and wrought iron. In 1995, a large annex was added, designed by BCQ Arquitectes and Toni Casamor. Since 2020, the institution has borne the name of the writer Caterina Albert (alias Víctor Català).
