Passeig de Gràcia, 41
Houses and emblematic buildings
Casa Amatller is a Catalan modernista building with Gothic influences on Passeig de Gràcia. Designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, one of the leading figures of Modernisme’s golden age, it was commissioned by the chocolatier Antoni Amatller at the time of the Eixample’s expansion. Its stepped façade, inspired by Flemish townhouses, stands out for its bold geometry and ornamental ceramics.
Inside, stained glass, ceramics and Catalan motifs, such as Sant Jordi defeating the dragon, reveal a symbolic world where family heritage and the craft of chocolate-making meet modernista imagination.
