Architectural Gem: Palau Macaya

Palau Macaya stands as one of Barcelona's lesser-known Catalan Modernisme gems.

Designed by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, who also created notable buildings like Casa Amatller, it was completed in 1898. The facade showcases decorative windows and intricate paintwork, while the interior boasts a grand entrance, colorful tiled courtyard, and a delicately carved marble staircase. Currently, the palace, owned by La Caixa, serves as a venue for exhibitions, workshops, and discussions around social transformation.
