Reus is once again gaining international attention. Prestigious British newspaper The Sunday Times has published an extensive travel feature on the city, presenting it as an ideal destination for discovering another side of Catalan Modernism, gastronomy and vermouth culture, away from Barcelona’s busiest tourist areas.
Under the headline This little-known Catalan city is like Barcelona — without the tourists, the article suggests a 48-hour break in Reus and takes readers through some of the city’s main attractions. Among them, Casa Navàs is highlighted as one of the essential stops on the second day.
Casa Navàs, a landmark of Modernism in Reus
The Times describes Casa Navàs as an extraordinary example of European Art Nouveau and particularly highlights its rich decoration, mosaics, stained-glass windows and remarkable interiors. The article also draws attention to its privileged location in Plaça del Mercadal and to the work of architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
Built between 1901 and 1908 for merchant Joaquim Navàs, Casa Navàs is now considered one of the finest examples of Modernism in Europe and preserves an exceptionally complete interior.

This new appearance in an international publication further strengthens Reus’s position as a destination for cultural and Modernist tourism and reinforces Casa Navàs as one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks.
