    They are three independent buildings that seem like one only due to their aesthetic unity. They are the modernist work of Joaquim Bassegoda. The housing complex is of considerable size. Its stone façade and five orange-colored domes, golden in the sun, stand out, which are a classic in the landscape of Paseo de Gracia.

    (Translated by Google) The towers of this central Barcelona building are topped with ocher colors that make them stand out, especially when the sun goes down. (Original) Las torres de este céntrico edificio barcelonés están rematadas con ocres colores que las hacen destacar, especialmente cuando cae el sol.

    (Translated by Google) Building is of Modernist style from the beginning of the 20th century, whose architects were Joaquín Bassegoda i Amigó and Bonaventura Bassegoda i Amigó. It is a set of three buildings forming one. They have ocher domes that shine and stand out in the sun. It is a very nice building. (Original) Edificio es de estilo Modernista de principios del Siglo XX, cuyos Arquitectos fueron Joaquín Bassegoda i Amigó y Bonaventura Bassegoda i Amigó. Es un conjunto de tres edificios formando uno sólo. Tienen unas cúpulas de color ocre que brillan y destacan con el sol. Es un edificio muy bonito.

    I'm about to discover another public road in the world that has more tourist attractions/points of interest than Passeig de Gràcia. In the 1,500 m. that separate Cases Antoni Rocamora at the beginning of the avenue to Casa Fuster at the end, there are 13 houses designed by famous modernist architects alone. Of these, Rocamora is the largest residential complex on the road. There are 3 buildings with a common facade that occupies an entire block of the Passeig. Built in stone and richly decorated, they follow the neo-Gothic trend of the first third of the 20th century.

    (Translated by Google) The Cases Antoni Rocamora, located almost at the beginning of Passeig de Gràcia, very close to Plaça Catalunya, represent one of the most important and spectacular residential complexes in the so-called Golden Square of Barcelona's promenade. Built between 1914 and 1917 by the Bassegoda architects, it is a complex of three adjacent buildings unified by a facade of great monumentality, which goes from the chamfer of Calle Casp to almost touching the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes. It is considered the largest private architectural complex on Passeig de Gràcia which also stands out for its neo-Gothic style with important modernist details, as it corresponded to the time, but with a more French-style air, possibly due to the years that Antoni Rocamora i Pujolà lived in France. , as he prepared to inherit his father's manufacturing business and turn it into the most powerful soap industry in Spain. The ornate stone facade contains profuse Neo-Plateresque details and repeats the same structure of five tribunes topped by forbidden vaults that exceed the height of the roof itself and were decorated with a kind of orange-toned ceramic scales that shine and change tone according to the Sun light . Although perhaps the most notable element of the ensemble is the tower located on the curve of the corner with Casp, which breaks with the layout of the ensemble, presenting itself as a conical viewpoint with a circular plan with a spire, which gives the building an air of a medieval fortress. (Original) Os Cases Antoni Rocamora, colocados quase no início do Passeig de Gràcia, muito perto da Plaça Catalunya, representam um dos complexos residenciais mais importantes e espetaculares da chamada Praça Dourada do calçadão de Barcelona. Construído entre 1914 e 1917 pelos arquitetos Bassegoda, é um complexo de três edifícios adjacentes unificados por uma fachada de grande monumentalidade, que vai desde o chanfro da rua Casp até quase tocar a Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes. É considerado o maior conjunto arquitetónico privado do Passeig de Gràcia que também se destaca pelo seu estilo neogótico com importantes pormenores modernistas, pois correspondia à época, mas com um ar mais ao estilo francês, possivelmente devido aos anos que Antoni Rocamora i Pujolà viveu na França, enquanto se preparava para herdar o negócio de fabricação de seu pai e transformá-lo na indústria de sabão mais poderosa da Espanha. A fachada de pedra ornamentada contém profusos detalhes neo-platerescos e repete a mesma estrutura de cinco tribunas encimadas por abóbadas proibidas que ultrapassam a altura do próprio telhado e foram decoradas com uma espécie de escamas cerâmicas de tons alaranjados que brilham e mudam de tom conforme a luz do sol . Embora talvez o elemento mais notável do conjunto seja a torre situada na curva da esquina com Casp, que rompe com a disposição do conjunto, apresentando-se como um miradouro cónico de planta circular com pináculo, que confere ao edifício um ar de fortaleza medieval.
