Designed by Josep Maria Jujol i Gibert and built between 1913 and 1916, Torre de la Creu is located in a small town near Barcelona (Sant Joan Despí). Because the domes resemble a cluster of eggs, the house received also from locals the name of "Casa del ous" (ous is the Catalan word for eggs).
Under the parabolic domes of Torre de la Creu, Jujol designed two houses with some characteristic elements as the elegant stairway - both simple and magnificent instead of the small space -, the gallery, the tower and other elements lately applied under various shapes in other projects of Jujol.

Josep Maria Jujol, one of Gaudí’s major collaborators, is an architect who deserves greater national and international recognition. He was a magnificent architect with tremendous talent and creativity, as can be seen in his audacious and harmonious design for the Torre de la Creu
