Cafe "Four Cats" opened at the end of the 19th century in the image and likeness of the famous Parisian "Black Cat". Initially included a small hotel and a cabaret. It is famous, first of all, for the fact that Pablo Picasso, Antonio Gaudi and many other talents of the Belle Epoque were its regular guests. By the way, it was the 19-year-old Pablo Picasso who developed the design of the cafe menu cover, which is still used today, made under the influence of Art Nouveau style. This poster was his first official commission.

Pay attention to the architecture of the building itself. The cafe is located on the first floor of the Casa Marti i Puig mansion, which is one of the classic examples of Catalan modernism. This exquisite pseudo-Gothic building was created by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch. Address: Carrer de Montsio, 3.
