Casa Terrades, most known as "Casa de les Puntxes" (house of the spikes) was designed by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafach in1905. Itt has a somewhat medieval appearance, and shows how the architect was influenced by Nordic style.
The façade was made in brick, and the ornaments around the windows and doors in stone. The big panels at the roof level were made in ceramics, with a sun clock and decorated with many other symbolic elements of Catalan nationalism. For instance, an image of de Sant Jordi (Saint George, patron of Catalonia) with the inscription in Catalan "Saint Patron of Catalonia please restore our freedom"
Other great artists collaborated to make this building: Alfons Juyol (stone sculptures), Eudald Amigo (stained glass windows), Manuel Ballarin (forged iron works).
Nowadays is a private owned building and visits are not allowed, but do not miss its magnificent exterior when walking around the area. Leave a Comment Address: Avinguda Diagonal, 416 - 420Directions: - Buses: 6, 15, 20, 33, 34, 39, 45, 47, N6 - Metro: L3, L5 (Diagonal or Verdaguer), L4 (Verdaguer)

 Hospital de Santa Creu i SAnt
Pau, Barcelona by mmurie
That's when maybe, I can help you.
The easiest way to visit them: (from Plaza Catalunya)
Take line 2 from Pg de Gracia (at Gran Via Avenue) to Sagrada Familia. After visiting the church, take the chance to visit Sant Pau Hospital by Domenech i Montaner, it is just a few minutes away from Sagrada Familia.
Once you're finished, take the busline 74 at the station Av Mare de Deu de Montserrat-Genova and after 6 stops you must get off at Mare de Deu de la Salut-Hospital de l'Esperanca.
To discover Casa Batllo and la Pedrera while you have a little walk up Pg de Gracia take the line 32 of bus at the station Mare de Deu de la Salut-Hospital de l'Esperansa and after 3 stops you must get off at Pl Lesseps-Riera de Vallcarca.
Take the line L3 of underground at the station LESSEPS ( Placa Lesseps) and after 2 stops you must get off at DIAGONAL ( Rambla Catalunya).
If you go straight you'll return to the departure point.
Have a nice walk!! Leave a Comment

 by arlequin_g
You won't be able to enter but at least you can take some nice photos. You have to visit it cause many tourists don't know it exists and is very close to Passeig de Gracia and Casa Terrades. Leave a Comment Address: Corner Roger de Lluria/CorsegaDirections: When you are at the top of P. de Gracia take Av Diagonal to the right and then the second street to the left
