Palau del Baró de Quadras, Modernist palace in Eixample district, Barcelona, Spain

The Palau del Baró de Quadras presents two distinct facades: a neo-plateresque one on Diagonal Avenue and a Viennese Secessionist one on Rosselló Street.

Manuel de Quadras i Feliu commissioned architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch to transform an existing 1882 building into this palace between 1902 and 1906.

The building exhibits a rich combination of artistic elements, including sculptures by Eusebi Arnau and ornamental work by master craftsmen Alfons Juyol and Manuel Ballarín.

The Institut Ramon Llull, which promotes Catalan culture internationally, maintains its headquarters in this building at 373 Diagonal Avenue since 2013.

The main staircase features a stone balustrade and an exceptional mosaic of small tiles in grey and white tones, demonstrating superior craftsmanship.
