Tucked inside the Gothic Quarter, just steps from the sea, Mercè17 offers something few ever find: the chance to live within history. Nine restored residences open onto a hidden courtyard where silence lingers, sunlight warms stone, and time gently slows.

In 2015, the renowned Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura was invited to bring its vision to Mercè17.
