Façade

It's a modernist building. It's very decorated with a lot of details. This façade is a convention of gothic and plateresque. This façade is made with stone. It was declared National Historic- Artistic Monument. It was built for Baró de Quadras. I like the stone balconies. The balconies have a lot of arches and ornamental motifs. In the entrance there are beautiful corbels. We can observe a man fighting with a dragon, I think that he is Sant Jordi. When I look at it I always find new forms in its decoration. On the second floor there are four gothic windows very ornamented. On the top there is a gallery with arches. The decoration is of glaze ceramic. The façade has a lot of adornments. I remember the group got up to the top to see the terrace and we all got very impressive. I had never visited before. The front door of the main façade is beautiful and complicated.
Don't miss it, it is worth seeing it.
