The City Council of Torredembarra has approved in the latest plenary session the declaration of the Patronat Antoni Roig and the El Pes building as Local Cultural Interest Assets (BCIL).

This official measure guarantees the preservation of both spaces, recognizing their relevance in the architecture and collective memory of the municipality. The decision integrates both properties into the town's protected heritage catalog.
The Patronat Antoni Roig, which began its educational activity at the end of the 19th century, stands out for its history as a secular, free, and co-educational institution. The building, which features influences of modernist language, is a landmark of the town's urban and institutional fabric.
Meanwhile, the El Pes building, located on Colom promenade, represents the maritime tradition of Baix a Mar. Built in 1929, it served as a fish market and weighing station for the local fishing community until the modernization of the sector at the port.
