La Casa Alegre de Sagrera is a museum building located at Font Vella Street, number 29, in Terrassa, province of Barcelona. Originally, it was the manor house of Joaquim de Sagrera, a textile manufacturer from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, who played a significant role in the Spanish War of Independence. Despite dating from the beginning of the last century, its current appearance is the result of a modernist reform carried out by Melcior Viñals, a municipal architect, at the beginning of the 20th century.
Current Status and Accessibility of La Casa Alegre de Sagrera
The house is currently one of the sections of the Terrassa Museum and is a model of a house of the industrial bourgeoisie of the time. After a campaign driven by the local press and the Municipal Museum Board in the mid-20th century, a drastic reform of the building that would have completely distorted it was prevented. The Alegre de Sagrera house was acquired by the City Council in 1973 with the help of the Terrassa Savings Bank and has since been open to the public, both the house and the gardens, which are accessed from Cardaire Street.
