Castle of the Three Dragons, Modernist castle in Parc de la Ciutadella, Spain
The Castle of the Three Dragons features four towers with brick walls, decorative iron elements, and ornate ceramic tiles along its square-shaped structure.
Constructed for the 1888 Universal Exhibition in Barcelona, this castle initially served as a café-restaurant before becoming part of the Natural Sciences Museum.
The building name originates from a theatrical work by Serafí Pitarra and represents the architectural vision of Lluís Domènech i Montaner for Catalan identity.
Scientific researchers can access the Natural Sciences Museum collections inside the castle by scheduling appointments through the museum administration.
The structure combines medieval castle elements with industrial materials, establishing new architectural standards during the emergence of Catalan Modernism.
