Illa de la Discòrdia, Architectural block in Eixample, Spain.

Three adjacent modernist buildings on Passeig de Gracia display different architectural styles created by leading Catalan architects between 1898 and 1906.

The name combines the Spanish word manzana, meaning both apple and block, referencing the Greek myth where Eris's golden apple caused discord among goddesses.

Casa Batllo, Casa Amatller, and Casa Lleo Morera represent the architectural competition between wealthy Barcelona families during the modernist period.

Located at Passeig de Gracia 43, visitors can access the buildings through the L3 metro line to Passeig de Gracia station.

Casa Batllo features a dragon-scale roof and skeletal balconies, while Casa Amatller combines Flemish and Catalan styles with chocolate-making facilities.

Location: Dreta de l'Eixample

Architectural style: Catalan modernism
