Casa Serra, Modernist mansion in Eixample, Spain

The Casa Serra features a central tower with a conical roof and grand windows decorated with sculptural elements by Eusebi Arnau and Alfons Juyol.

Between 1903 and 1908, architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch created this residence for Pere Serra, incorporating medieval elements inspired by the demolished Casa Gralla.

The building displays busts of prominent figures above each window, including painter Marià Fortuny and writer Miguel de Cervantes, representing Catalan artistic heritage.

Located at Rambla Catalunya 126 in Barcelona, the Casa Serra now functions as the headquarters of the Barcelona Provincial Council.

Despite being constructed as a private residence, the original owner Pere Serra never lived in the building, which later served as a nun's college.
