Mas de Xoriguera is a masia—a traditional Catalan farmhouse—located in Biosca, Spain, constructed around 1700. Built during the Baroque period, the structure exemplifies vernacular architecture of its era, blending practical agricultural function with the decorative sensibilities characteristic of early eighteenth-century Catalan rural building. The masia reflects the synthesis of local building traditions and broader Baroque influences that shaped the domestic architecture of rural Catalonia. Recognized as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest, it stands as a testament to the region's architectural heritage and the enduring design of countryside estates from this formative period.
