Like a tribute to Gaudí, the Casa Comalat contains many elements of Gaudí"s architecture, and is one of the most original examples of home-grown art nouveau in Barcelona: modernisme. Two distinct façades, both of them showing the influence of the curve redolent of the work of the Reus-born maestro, arouse our curiosity to go and take a closer look at this beautiful and unique building.
One of the most sumptuous examples of modernisme in Barcelona, the Casa Fuster sparkles elegantly at the top of the
Passeig de Gràcia. It is considered one of the most costly buildings ever built in the city, and it is precisely the combination of simplicity and harmonious décor which imbues the building with its great value and beauty.
Some people say that the Casa Lleó Morera is a family-size version of the Palau de la Música. Although the Palau is considered the epitome of modernista architecture due to its elaborate decorative elements, the artistic splendour of this house is also beyond dispute. Both landmarks were designed by the brilliant architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
Nestling in a quiet side street of Barcelona, the café-restaurant, "Els quatre gats", is located on the ground floor of the Casa Martí. The building, with its medieval-style exterior, invites us to step into its cosy interior which was the meeting place for the intellectuals of modernist Barcelona, at the end of the 19th century.
In the central Barcelona"s Passeig de Gràcia, we find the Casa Milà or La Pedrera, a blend of fantasy and functionality make this architectural landmark a must-see visitor attraction. This is the culmination of Antoni Gaudí"s career, designed as a modernista building tailored to the new social needs, without forgetting his main source of inspiration: nature and organic forms.
