Palace of the Baron Cuadras

Palacio del Barón de Quadras, Palau del Baro de Quadras
Spain, Barcelona
The Palace of the Baron Cuadras was designed by the famous Catalan architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch. The house was not built by the architect from scratch, but was rebuilt by order of Baron Cuadras in 1903. The main feature of the building is its double façade. The façade, overlooking Avenue Diagonal, features a gothic style with a lace gallery, sculptures, and gargoyle and fish drains. The other façade of the building, facing Via Rosello, is more restrained and decorated in Art Nouveau style.

Palacio del Baró n de Quadras, address: Avinguda Diagonal 373, completed in 1906. Architect: Josep Puig i Cadafalch. Initially, the palace was built for the wealthy family of the Catalan baron Cudras. Take a close look at the facade of the building - dragons, frogs and all sorts of mythical creatures are in abundance here. Today, Palacio del Baró n de Quadras houses the Barcelona headquarters of the Casa Asia consortium, an organization created in 2001 to restore Spain's influence in Asia and the Pacific.
