The building hosting the swimming pool was designed by the architect Joan Rosell and consisted of a ground floor and a first floor. The entrance hall, on the ground floor, gave access to the changing rooms, bathrooms, cloakrooms and bar. The L-shaped framework of the swimming pool could be seen at the centre although the pool itself, was located on the upper floor together with an uncovered sun terrace and another partially covered one.

The spa Balneari Brisamar was the work of architects Joaquín Iglesias and Francesc Sanvisens and comprised a ground floor and a first floor. The entrance was on the ground floor with spaces for administrative and health services on the right and medical services on the left. The complex also had a dispensary to serve the needs of the residents with its own independent access and there was an illuminated fountain in the centre. A foyer, located behind the entrance, had a staircase and elevator to the first floor, and access to the gallery, with its fifteen bathrooms. Three apartments, with special facilities, were located on the first floor, together with another gallery comprising six bathrooms and ten rest rooms for use after bathing. The façade of the spa was decorated with mosaics elaborated by Santiago Padrós. The large stained-glass window at the entrance was the work of the artist himself and is worthy of mention.

Did you know that…?

The swimming pool won the “Premio nacional Victoria” (Victoria National Award) in 1964 for the best sports construction.

The Brisamar enterprise stopped managing the residential area in 1972, and in 1978 was put up for sale. The Vendrell City Council acquired it and has managed it ever since.
