Can Cucurella
Isolated house surrounded by a stone and brick wall. It is made up of two bodies: one on the main façade with a ground floor, first floor, a small tower and a small roof terrace, and one behind it, consisting of a ground floor, first floor and rooftop. The main façade is notable for its symmetry. The lintels of the ground-floor openings are decorated with plant-themed mouldings made of artificial stone. The glazed ceramic roof overhang on both the façade and the tower is interesting. Also interesting are the roof railing that forms small battlements and the wrought-iron railings on the balconies, as well as the decorative ceramic elements on the façade. The rear façade has a porch and terrace with an artificial stone railing. This house was built by Enric Cucurella i Vidal. The construction was carried out in two stages: in the first one the ground floor was built, and in the second one the rest of the building was constructed. In 1983, it was acquired by the town council and today it houses the municipal offices. Carrer J. Mestre Lladós was developed at the beginning of the 20th century. This building is part of the complex formed by the houses number 1,3,5,7.1903

National Schools
Single-storey building with a gabled roof. The façade reflects the symmetry of the building. On the ground floor there are two entrances leading to two classrooms and staircases. The entranceways and almost the entire height of the first floor are made of exposed brick, while the rest of the façade is plastered. The brickwork in the openings on both floors and the ceramic decorations are particularly noteworthy. The façade is topped with a pediment bearing the coat of arms of the village of Els Hostalets, made of artificial stone. The side façades have windows and follow the same composition. There is a newer section attached to the rear façade. The land was owned by Pere Pujol. The building has been renovated. The first floor, which originally housed the teachers' homes, now contains classrooms. The layout of the interior staircases and the entire exterior of the building have been preserved. Carrer J. Mestre Ladós was developed in the early 20th century. This building is part of a complex comprising houses nos. 1, 3, 5 and 7.1919

Casal Català
The complex consists of several single-storey buildings: café-lounge, theatre, outbuildings and terrace. The main body is notable for its great height – it has a façade facing the street, with a large tripartite window, and the garden, where there are large windows with rounded arches. The ground plan is rectangular, with a gable roof that generates the shape of a pediment. On the main façade there are sgraffiti depicting musical angels and, above the central oculus, the coat of arms with the four bars surrounded by laurels and garlands. The corners of the building are crowned with terracotta jugs. In contrast, the façade of the theatre building is more austere. The pediment is more accentuated, and on either side, fluted pilasters delimit the width of the façade. The sgraffito is found in the central area of the gable, which bears the year of its construction. Here, too, the corners are crowned with terracotta jugs. The large stone plinth, which also forms the garden fence and links up with that of house no. 28, is particularly noteworthy. The original project was not fully carried out. The Casal Català was founded on the initiative of the Hostalenca Regionalist Union, created in 1918, which through Joan Vallès, Joan Subirats, Casimir Orriols and Enric Cucurella financed its construction, which was commissioned to the architect Josep Goday in 1924. In 1926, in the month of July, the house was inaugurated. The sgraffito work was carried out by Ferdinandus Serra in 1933. In 1960 the building was refurbished and the name was changed to ‘Centro Cultural Recreativo Casal Català’. It was not until 1988 that this entity recovered its original name, which had been erased during the years of Franco's repression.1924 - 1926

Cal Roviralta
autoria desconeguda
Rectangular two-storey building constructed with stone covered in stucco, with a very simple design and almost no decoration, except for the window mouldings that slightly protrude from the wall and the wrought iron balconies of the central windows. The stone balustrade is also a notable feature. As for the entrance door, it stands out within a porticoed composition that also includes a small stone balustrade supported by two pillars framing the main façade. In 1936, this building and the land belonging to its owner were seized by the local committee. A branch of the cooperative (the union) was established in Can Roviralta.first half of the 20th century
