An important local meeting point and cultural center, the Can Deu Civic Center stands in Plaça de la Concòrdia, in the heart of Les Corts district. This lovely building, which has served its present purpose since 1984, was the private home of the Deu family, who were spirit distillers. It was the first house in Les Corts to be recovered as a municipal facility.
Can Deu is a Neo-Gothic mansion built by the architect Eduard Mercader i Sacancha in the late nineteenth century. The building features many elements typical of those times, such as wrought-iron work and long balcony on the lateral façade. The building was renovated by the City Council in 1984, when it was decided to turn it into the Can Deu Civic Centre.
