Cultural heritage
A building with many faces
A truly eclectic building, the Palau del Baró de Quadras adopts different architectural styles in and out. It was designed by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch between 1902 and 1903, and is one of the prettiest buildings you can find on Avinguda de la Diagonal.
Radical alterations
Baron Manuel de Quadras commissioned Puig i Cadafalch to refurbish what was an old block of flats. In fact, the architect completely renovated it. The main facade follows a Plateresque style reminiscent of the Gothic buildings of northern Europe, featuring flowers, heraldic shields and medieval-style sculptures made by the sculptors Eusebi Arnau and Alfons Juyol.
The rear facade, which looks out onto Carrer del Rosselló, is dominated by the highly stylised and abstract Vienna Secession style, which was very close to Modernisme.
The interior of the mansion, which today houses the Ramon Llull Institute, has a highly eclectic style. Visitors can see Modernista, neo-Gothic and neo-Moorish influences in there.
