Palau Baró De Quadras

Palace of the Baron of Quadras Architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch Collaborators Eusebi Arnau Alfons Juyol Built 1902 1903 Avinguda Diagonal, 373 In 1900, the Baron de Quadras commissioned Josep Puig i Cadafalch to refurbish a residential block on Carrer RossellA . The architect transformed the building completely, between 1902 and 1903, providing it with two distinct faA ades which make it particularly interesting. When viewed from the Avinguda Diagonal, the building is reminiscent of North European palaces, with an intricately carved neo plateresque style which highlights the noble character of the building. Here, the long, ornate balcony, with its busts of eminent medieval and Renaissance figures, floral motifs and heraldic shields, and the mansards on the upper floor, are fully in keeping with the medieval European style. Highlights include the sculptures by Eusebi Arnau and Alfons Juyol. www.barcelonaturisme.com English 3Ngb8YjSpL3IOAs7oO2GTYt...
