Can Miret de las Torres is located next to the nucleus of Las Torres and touching Vallpineda. It is an isolated modernist style building consisting of a first floor and two floors, with a gable roof. The facade, with a symmetrical composition, gives access to the main floor through a semicircular arched door and two windows framed in brick. All the ornamentation of the facade is inscribed within the gothic aspect of modernism, clearly visible in the windows of the second floor. The shape of the windows on the second floor was conditioned by the decorative use of brick. On the main façade there is a sundial, illustrated with the curves of solar declination and the signs of the zodiac, as well as Valencian ceramic plates and tiles from different periods, ornamental elements that enrich the façade. An important detail to emphasize is the circular stone balcony on the corner, profusely sculpted. The roof is crowned by a wrought iron weather vane.
