Catalan term or phrase: per subscripció popular
... l’any 1919, els Güell van donar part de la seva finca de Pedralbes a la casa Reial. La masia, referida per Verdaguer com la torre Satàlia, que tenia una graciosa sortida d’escala amb xemeneia de Gaudí al terrat, va ser demolida i es va aixecar el Palau de Pedralbes ***per subscripció popular.***

Explanation:
Jon -- It depends who's paying. There are other examples in Barcelona,eg the "temple expiatori" on the Tibidabo , not to mention the Sagrada Família, which were put up by public subscription, either 2Ptas in the collecting plate every Sunday, banker's drafts, or Gaudí himself going around with a tin cup...
However, I'm not sure whether the Palau de Pedralbes was publicly funded or not.

agree  Berni Armstrong: I've heard churches built by donations referred to in this way. Though personally I think it sounds strange.
