    I took a tour through Cases Singulares, check their website. Palau del Baró de Quadras. Another masterpiece by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, 1906. Catalan modernisme, with Gothic influences in the form of stone sculptures and gargoyles, and Islamic influences in the form of colorful ceramics and a courtyard fountain.

    (Translated by Google) A singular modernist house built by the architect Puig i Cadafalch. It is a hidden gem within Barcelona, ​​the stained-glass windows and the fireplace have a great job. What we will see in this house we will not see in any other of the modernist style, it gave them many problems to build the stairway but in the end they solved it and finished it. A great work of art. (Original) Una casa singular modernista construida por el arquitecto Puig i Cadafalch. Es una joya oculta dentro de Barcelona, tiene un gran trabajo la escalinata las vidrieras y la chimenea. Lo que veremos en esta casa no la veremos en ninguna otra del estilo modernista, les dio muchos problemas construir la escalinata pero al final lo solucionaron y la acabaron. Una gran obra de arte.

    (Translated by Google) The Palau del Baró de Quadras is a modernist building built by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch between 1904 and 1906. The building has been declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest since January 9, 1976. It is currently the headquarters of the Institut Ramon Llull. The barons of Quadras, Manuel de Quadras i Feliú and his wife Joana Anna Veiret i Xipell, commissioned Puig i Cadafalch in 1900 to build their new residence in Barcelona. Baron de Quadras is a title granted in 1900 by the queen-regent of Spain Maria Cristina of Austria to the industrialist and knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher, Manuel de Quadras i Feliu, son of the Osona businessman Josep Quadras and Prim, in memory of an old Lordship of his house dating from 1378. (Original) El Palau del Baró de Quadras és un edifici modernista construït per l'arquitecte Josep Puig i Cadafalch entre 1904 i 1906. L'edifici és una obra declarada Bé Cultural d'Interès Nacional des del 9 de gener de 1976. Actualment és la seu de l'Institut Ramon Llull. Els barons de Quadras, Manuel de Quadras i Feliú i la seva esposa Joana Anna Veiret i Xipell, van encarregar a Puig i Cadafalch l'any 1900 construir la seva nova residència a Barcelona. Baró de Quadras és un títol concedit el 1900 per la reina-regent d'Espanya Maria Cristina d'Àustria a l'industrial i cavaller de l'orde del Sant Sepulcre, Manuel de Quadras i Feliu, fill de l'empresari osonenc Josep Quadras i Prim, en memòria d'una antiga Senyoria de la seva casa que datava de 1378.

    (Translated by Google) The guided tour is worth it. The entrance is expensive. All visits to emblematic houses in Barcelona have the same excessive price that does not allow them to be visited on more than one occasion. At least one day a month should be free (Original) La visita guiada merece la pena. La entrada es cara. Todas las visitas a casas emblemáticas de Barcelona tienen el mismo precio excesivo q no permite recorrerlas en más de una ocasión. Al menos un día al mes deberían ser gratuitas

  • 5/5 Oleg P. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Modest in size, but the outstanding house of Baron Cuadras is one of the jewels of the Catalan modernism of Puig-i-Kadafalka. The uniqueness of this estate is that it is two-sided. The main facade overlooks the lively avenue Diagonal, and the opposite facade to the neighboring street is Roséjo. The meter designed the reconstruction of the building in its own style. The head facade is gothic in its representation with references to the Norman Gothic. In the sculptural design there are mythological and natural motifs - the gargoyles are particularly impressive. The interior of the palace lobby deserves special attention. Yes, you can go inside. A wide marble staircase is simply gorgeous. So much space that even a fountain fit. It's amazing how people at that time sacrificed the internal space to a seemingly ordinary ladder, the purpose of which is simply to bring the tenant to the floor above :) (Original) Скромный по размерам, но выдающийся визуально дом барона Куадраса является одной из жемчужин каталонского модернизма руки Пуч-и-Кадафалька. Уникальность этого поместья в том, что он двухсторонний. Головной фасад выходит на оживленное авеню Диагональ, а противоположный на соседскую улицу - Росейо. Метр спроектировал реконструкцию здания в своем стиле. Головной фасад готичен в своем представлении с отсылками к норманнской готике. В скульптурном оформлении встречаются мифологические и природные мотивы - гаргульи особо впечатляют. Отдельного внимания заслуживает интерьер вестибюля дворца. Да, сюда можно зайти внутрь. Широкая мраморная лестница просто шикарна. Столько пространства, что даже фонтан поместился. Удивительно, как люди в то время жертвовали внутренним пространством на казалось бы обычную лестницу, цель которой просто доставить жильца на этаж выше :)

  • 5/5 Mercedes Escayola C. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Palau del Baró de Quadras, is a modernist building built by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch between 1904 and 1906. It has two facades: the main façade on Avda. De la Diagonal and the later one on Rosselló Street. The door of the main facade is made of wrought iron, the work of Manuel Ballarín. The lobby floor, in a style reminiscent of the Roman mosaic, is built to support the weight of the cars. It has a small slope in the form of a slope towards the exit of Rosselló Street, which is where cars leave. In the area of ​​the lobby called "waiting space" with a fountain, it can be seen that although the drawing of the floor is in keeping with that of the lobby, it is more delicate. The glazed pottery is from the Sevillian Factory MENSAQUE. This Palace (Manor House) like many others in Catalonia, the main floor, also known as the noble floor, is what the owners and their families used. The upper floors were rented. The entrance for the gentlemen, was by the Diagonal. The one of the tenants for the tenants. The main staircase, which accesses the main floor, is beautifully decorated. The sculptors Eusebio Arnau and Alfons Jujol worked on the ornamentation of this palace. On the main floor there are two large salons, one with a gallery on Avenida Diagonal (living room, visitors, etc.) and another with a gallery on Calle Rosselló, (dining room, access to the Quadras room, etc.). These two rooms communicate through a corridor. When entering the dining room, first there was a small room with a sink, so that the guests could wash their hands. This sector occurs in other modernist houses. (Original) El Palau del Baró de Quadras, es un edificio modernista realizado por el arquitecto Josep Puig i Cadafalch entre 1904 y 1906. Dispone de dos fachadas: la principal en la Avda. de la Diagonal y la posterior en la Calle Rosselló. La puerta de la fachada principal es de hierro forjado, obra de Manuel Ballarín. El piso del vestíbulo, de estilo que recuerda el mosaico romano, esta construído para que soporte el peso de los coches. Tiene un pequeño desnivel en forma de pendiente hacia la salida de la Calle Rosselló, que es por donde salen los coches. En la zona del vestíbulo denominada "espacio de espera" con una fuente, se puede apreciar que si bien el dibujo del piso es acorde con el del vestíbulo, es más delicado. La cerámica vidriada es de la Fábrica Sevillana MENSAQUE. Este Palacio (Casa señorial) como muchas otras en Catalunya, la planta principal, conocida también como planta noble, es la que usaban los dueños y su familia. Las plantas superiores se alquilaban. La entrada para los señores, era por la Diagonal. La de los inquilinos para los inquilinos. La escalera principal, que accede a la planta noble, está preciosamente decorada. En la ornamentación de este palacio trabajaron los escultores Eusebio Arnau y Alfons Jujol. En la planta noble son de destacar dos grandes salones, uno con galería a la Avda. Diagonal (sala de estar, de visitas, etc.) y otro con galería a la Calle Rosselló, (comedor, acceso a la habitación del matrimonio Quadras, etc.). Estos dos salones se comunican por un pasillo. Al acceder al comedor, primero se daba con una pequeña estancia con un lavabo, para que los comensales pudieran lavarse las manos. Este sector se da en otras casas modernistas.

  • 5/5 Irene C. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a strange building in that, like Casa Comalat in the same street, has two totally different styled facades. The one on the Diagonal avenue is in Gothic style with turrets and long windows and balconies. The other one, facing Rosselló street is reminiscent of the art nouveau style that was so popular in Barcelona at the beginnings of the 20th century.

  • 2/5 Elisa V. 1 year ago on Google
    The tour is not worth it given that the building is mostly rented out to regular offices you can’t access to. Moreover, the palau is completely empty and void of its previous furniture/decorations. Way better to just enjoy the façade.

    (Translated by Google) It is a good example of the most evolved modernism, where aesthetics and the appropriate use of spaces were already mixed, which results in a very beautiful and functional work, unfortunately the speculative excesses of the 60s allowed the construction, next to it, of a building without any grace that has visually impaired him. (Original) Es una buena muestra del modernismo más evolucionado, donde ya se mezclaban la estética y el uso adecuado de los espacios, lo que resulta en una obra muy bella y funcional, lamentablemente los desmanes especulativos de los 60 permitieron la construcción, a su lado, de un edificio sin ninguna gracia que le ha perjudicado visualmente.
