 The splendid facade of
Casa Batlló. by seamandrew
Casa Lleó Morera, designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner and decorated with the sculptures of Eusebi Arnau, is on the corner and has the beautiful round window that is hard to miss. Slightly further up is the Casa Amatller by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, and next door to it is the most famous Casa Batlló, which was remodelled by Gaudí in 1906 (pictured here).
The Casa Batlló is more than a building. It became a legend of art and architecture for all time. Today, the First Floor (the former home of the Batlló family), the Attic and its famous chimneys are all open to visitors. You can also be just as content admiring the splendid facades from the sidewalk. Lastly, this building also looks quite beautiful at night. So try to come back and see it then. Leave a Comment

The "Apple of Discord" is the popular name done to this block of houses (in Spanish we call it "Manzana" or "Apple") where there are three beautiful houses designed by three different architects: Casa Batllo by Antonio Gaudí, Casa Lleó i Morera by Domènech i Montaner and Casa Amatller by Puig i Cadafalch. This original name establishs a paralelism between these three houses and the mythological Judgement of Paris in which the goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite fought for the "Apple of Discord", the golden apple, a thropy for the most beautiful of them.
The Amatller House was built in 1900 mixing Gothic and the Dutch styles. Currently it hosts the Amatller Institute and the Modernism Centre, which plan guided visit to the modernist buildings in town.
La "Manzana de la Discordia" es el nombre popular que recibe este conjunto de bloques agrupados en una misma manzana, donde hay tres bonitas casas diseñadas por tres arquitectos diferentes: Casa Batlló de Antonio Gaudí, Casa Lleó i Morera de Domènech i Montaner y Casa Amatller de Puig i Cadafalch. Este original nombre establece el paralelismo entre estas tres casas y el mitológico Juicio de Paris en el cual las diosas Hera, Atena y Afrodita lucharon por la "Manzana de la Discordia" la manzana de oro que servía como trofeo a la más guapa de ellas.
La Casa Amatller fue construida en 1900 mezclando los estilos gótico y holandes. Actualmente alberga el Instituto Amatller y el Centro del Modernismo, que organiza visitas a los edificios modernistas de la ciudad. Leave a Comment

This beautiful house was built in 1905 by Domènech i Montaner. Its decoration is specially rich in the windows and gates lintel, with vegetal garlands. I specially like the round big windows and the templete on the attic, making it one of the most elegant houses.
Esta bonita casa fue construida en 1905 por Domènech i Montaner. Su decoración es especialmente rica en los dinteles de las ventanas y las puertas, con guirnaldas vegetales. Me gusta sobre todo las ventanas redondas y el templete sobre el ático, siendo una de las casas más elegantes. Leave a Comment

 Casa Batllo and Casa
Amatller-L'Eixample by bpwilletLeave a Comment

 by Pieter11
Cadafalch designed a wall inspired by Dutch, neogothical and islamitical elements. There also are a lot of interesting smaller elements. Above the frontdoor, you´ll see a carving of the Catalan hero St. Jordi, fighting the dragon.
The central hall of this beautiful building has iron and glass lamps, beautiful decorations and nice coloured glass. The office of “Ruta del Modernisme” is not opened often, but if it is opened, you can see the small collection of art and buy the chocolats of the one who ordered this beautiful piece of art to be built.
You can only visit the Casa Amatller when you make an appointment. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro: Line 2: Pg. de Grácia
