Barcelona architecture beyond Gaudí with Destination Spain! Gaudí is one of the most important artistic figure in the 20th Century. You can find work of art along Catlonia, and especially in Barcelona. But there is another arquitecture in the Catalonia’s capital, represented by artist like Domènech I Muntaner, Puig I Cadafalch or Enric Sagnier. Let’ see some of these examples.
Casa de les Punxes (Puig I Cadafalch)
A "large Gothic castle" standing in the middle of Barcelona's Avinguda Diagonal catches the eye of any visitor to the city. The "Casa de les Punxes" (House of Spikes) is really a residential block built in the shape of medieval castle which is one of the most recognisable modernista landmarks on the Barcelona skyline.The exterior delights anyone who goes to take a closer look. The brickwork on the façade blends with the wrought-iron on the balconies, designed by Manuel Ballarín, the neo-Gothic style sculptural reliefs by Alfons Juyol, and stained-glass windows by Eduard Amigó. The ceramic panels surmounting the façade refer to the patriotic symbols of Catalonia. Another example of the nationalism that often imbues Catalan "modernisme".
