Casa Amatller: now open for visitors

Another gem of Barcelona modernista architecture is now open to the public, following a 5-year restoration project.

Casa Amatller was built in 1900 by renowned architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch for chocolate tycoon Antoni Amatller and his daughter Teresa. The house makes up part of the famous "Manzana de la Discordia," a series of grand residences built by the best architects of the time, including also Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Antoni Gaudí, and Enric Sagnier. The grouping is located on Passeig de Gràcia a short walk from Bailèn 41.

Enjoy the visuals from a video (in Catalan) then catch up on the details in English.
