Balanced beauty

Casa Juncosa is at number 78, Rambla de Catalunya, on the junction with Carrer de València. Markedly Modernista in style and inspired by Casa Calvet – a house designed by Antoni Gaudí – this is a totally symmetrical building with a facade made of stone and decorated with sculpted plant motifs.

Inspiration come true

The identity of the person who designed this emblematic building has always been surrounded by controversy. Its owner, Evarist Juncosa, commissioned the architect Salvador Vinyals, but it is believed that Melcior Vinyals i Muñoz, another architect and his stepbrother, was the person who really designed it.

Architecturally speaking, the most outstanding features of the house are the bay window on the main floor, the balconies, the door with a trefoil arch and carved decoration, and, more hidden, the polychrome, stained-glass windows near the mains stairs.
