Casa Amatller

Although the majority of the Modernist sites in Barcelona were created by Antoni Gaudí, Casa Amatller serves as an example of a contribution to the Modernist ambience by someone other than Gaudí, Josep Puig I Cadafalch. Casa Amatller is an apartment building dating to 1900 that was commissioned by Catalan chocolate manufacturer, Antoni Amatller.

Unfortunately for us, the building was undergoing renovation while we were in Barcelona, so we got to see a small fraction of the interior. I guess that is motivation to make it back to Spain someday, eh?

All the same, I personally really enjoyed the stained glass. To say the least, it was a change from what I was used to seeing in the churches scattered across Spain!
