This monumental building, which draws the attention by the richness of the artistic decoration of its facades and its splendid interior, was built in the 15th century by the family Rabassa Perellós.[1]
In its origin and at the view the Plan by Father Tosca, the palace was a Gothic building by the year 1400, of three bodies willing around a courtyard, facade at north, embattled tower at northeast (left of the front), midpoint portal, loggia run under the eaves and tiled roof. Today and after numerous reforms, the palace has an irregular plan, organized around two courtyards and with three towers on three of its corners. Its elevation is developed on ground floor, main floor and second floor.
In the 18th century the manor of the Rabassa de Perellós undergoes a radical reform carried out in 1740 by the 3rd Marquis of Dos Aguas, Ginés Rabassa de Perellós y Lanuza (1706-1765) as a sign of his power and lineage. The three main architects of the reforms were Hipólito Rovira Meri (painter), Ignacio Vergara Gimeno (sculptor) and Luis Domingo (1718-1767) (decorator).
Hipólito Rovira was responsible for decorating the mansion. The facades were frescoed by Rovira with allegorical themes and blue hues, but soon disappeared, being repainted in 1770 this time by José Ferrer, alias Ferreret (1728-1782), although this decoration also would eventually disappear. On the entrance and protecting it built a corrido balcony with a forging parapets supported on braces. During these reforms was also built a second tower on its northwest side (to the right of the main entrance).
