House Amalie

Casa Amatller
Spain, Barcelona
Casa Amalie is a Barcelona building in a style that oscillates between neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau. The house, built in 1875, was bought in 1898 by the confectioner Antonio Amalle and its reconstruction was entrusted to the architect J. Puig i Cadafalch. In the course of the work, in which a whole group of artists and craftsmen participated, the house was re-planned and decorated. The building has an unusual stepped pediment, and on its facade there is an allegorical portrait of the homeowner.

The House of Amalle is located next to the House of Batlló and the House of Lleo Morerai, together with them, is part of the "Quarter of Discord", so named because of the stylistic heterogeneity of the modernist buildings that form it.

The Quarter of Discord or the Apple of Discord (la Manzana de la discordia) captures in stone the professional competition between the three great Catalan modernist architects: Antoni Gaudí (House Batlló ), Luis Dumenec y Muntaner (House Leo Morera) and Josep Puig y Cadafalch (House of Amalie). The facade of the House of Amalie is made in the Moorish style with Gothic elements. The building became famous after the Spanish confectioner Antonio Amalle bought it at the end of the 19th century and ordered its reconstruction by Puig i Cadafalco.
