This is a large, three-storey house with a gable roof. The central keystone of the vaulted doorway reads “1601”, while the tower bears the date “1596”. Between the windows there is a large sundial, and the jambs feature two large zoomorphic motifs, which are quite deteriorated, but the evidence suggests that they might represent two lions.
During the Spanish Civil War, Can Dalmau was the headquarters of the POUM of the CNT, the Joventuts Llibertàries and the Unió Republicana d’Esquerra. It later also functioned as a school run by the CENU (Consell de l’Escola Nova Unificada)— created during the revolution—and had 68 pupils and one teacher.
