Casa Amatller

Casa Amatller is a notable Modernist building in Barcelona, Spain, designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch. It's part of the famous "Block of Discord" on Passeig de Gràcia, alongside other modernist masterpieces. Visitors appreciate the building's striking Neo-Gothic façade with its ornate stonework and colorful ceramic tiles. The interior, once home to the Amatller family of chocolatiers, showcases exquisite craftsmanship with stained glass windows, intricate woodwork, and period furnishings. The guided tours are informative, providing insights into the building's history and the Modernist movement. Some visitors note that compared to its more famous neighbor, Casa Batlló, Casa Amatller can feel less crowded, offering a more relaxed experience. However, a few reviewers mention that the tour options are limited and sometimes only in Spanish or Catalan. The on-site chocolate shop, featuring Amatller chocolates, is a popular stop for many guests. While not as internationally renowned as some other Modernist sites in Barcelona, Casa Amatller offers a valuable look into the city's architectural heritage and the lifestyle of the Catalan bourgeoisie at the turn of the 20th century.
