The mansion called Can Pruneras as well as the façade of de Bank of Sóller and of the church are probaly the most representative buildings of the modren style in Sóller. Can Prunera is situated onthe street "La Lluna". It was built between 1909 and 1911.
It is unifamiliar house. The building is made of calcareous stone in a barroque modern style. It is abundantly decorated with iconographs inspired by nature. This decorartive programme abounds with organic inspiration as well as geometrical and figurative design. The nymphs, playing instruments, project from the ceiling at the entrance. In the dining still lifes depicting hunting and fishing can be seen showing partridges, hares and lobsters.
The ornamental designs in Can Prunera are not limited to the walls and ceilings. They can also be seen in the stained glass, the balustrade, the marquetry of the furniture and the roof. The building as a whole is outstanding, as it includes ornamental elements both inside and out.
The building belongs to the company "Ferrocarril de Sóller" (Sóller railway). Thanks to the contribution of the foundation "tren de l'art" (Train of the Art) the building is being totally restored. This reconstruction work is being subsidised by the Balearic Island Government and the European Union with the aim of turning it into an interpretation of Modernism in Mallorca.
