Villa Hispanoàrab, located in the Sant Gervasi-la Bonanova district of Barcelona, is a residential building designed by architects Josep Font i Gumà and Manuel Vega i March. Built in the neo-Mudéjar style, the villa exemplifies the historicist architectural movement that looked to Spain's Islamic past for inspiration. The building's decorative and structural elements draw from Mudéjar traditions, blending Christian and Islamic architectural vocabularies characteristic of medieval Spain. Now protected under urban heritage designation, Villa Hispanoàrab represents the eclectic taste of late nineteenth or early twentieth-century Barcelona's prosperous residential quarters.
