Casa Pia Batlló, Modernist residential building in Dreta de l'Eixample, Spain

Located at the intersection of Rambla Catalunya and Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, this four-story structure displays ornate metalwork balconies and polygonal tribunes.

Architect Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas designed and constructed this residential building between 1891 and 1896, during Barcelona's architectural transformation period.

The building incorporates Gothic and Romantic elements, featuring classical human figures in medallions alongside decorative dogs, serpents, winged lions, and dragons.

The ground floor contains a bank branch, while the upper floors maintain their original residential purpose with access through a central rectangular courtyard.

The Phoenix bird motif appears throughout the facade, representing the Catalan cultural renaissance movement of the late nineteenth century.
