Casa Amatller, Modernist mansion in Eixample, Spain

Casa Amatller displays a Gothic-inspired facade with ceramic tiles, stone columns, decorative reliefs, and ornate balconies on Passeig de Gracia in Barcelona.

Originally built in 1875, chocolate manufacturer Antoni Amatller commissioned architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch to redesign the building between 1898 and 1900.

The building forms part of the Block of Discord, alongside Casa Batllo and Casa Lleo-Morera, representing different interpretations of Catalan Modernism.

Visitors can explore the preserved 1900s interior through guided tours, visit the museum, or study at the Amatller Institute of Hispanic Art.

The entrance features sculptures by Eusebi Arnau depicting Sant Jordi and references to chocolate manufacturing, reflecting the original owner's profession.
