Casa Terrades (also called "House with Thorns"), architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch. Address: Avinguda Diagonal 416-420 completed 1905 The building has six facades and occupies an entire block. Such a "hybrid of the Flemish town hall and the pseudo medieval castle of Ludwig the Mad", as the author of books about Barcelona, Robert Hughes, aptly put it. Maybe not the best work of Puig i Cadafalch, but certainly the most famous.→
