Between 1771 and 1772, Josepa Casas Clavell commissioned the construction of a large summer villa a short distance from Barcelona, where she lived. The chosen location was next to the old road heading towards Esplugues, within the municipality of Hospitalet de Llobregat. Josepa Casas was a wealthy merchant who was an only child, which is why she was known as the heiress of the Casas family. The Municipal Archive has organized an exhibition at the Centre Cultural la Bòbila about the Pubilla Casas, her house, and the beginnings of the neighborhood that bears her name. It can be visited until November 22 of this year. On Sunday, November 15, at 11:00 a.m., a guided tour of the Pubilla Casas house, which currently houses the San José Obrero School, will be offered. Sign up by calling 934032910 (Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.) or by writing to us at: archivo@l-h.cat. In addition, on Monday, November 16, at 6:30 p.m., we will offer a guided tour of the exhibition installed at the Centre Cultural la Bòbila. Registration is not required for this event. Let us also remember that throughout Avinguda Tomàs Giménez in Pubilla Cases, you can find structures with more images and content complementary to the exhibition.
