Lonely Planet review for Casa Amatller
The Casa Amatller, done by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, has Gothic-style window frames, a stepped gable borrowed from the urban architecture of the Netherlands, and all sorts of unlikely sculptures and busts jutting out. The pillared foyer and the staircase lit by stained glass are like the inside of some romantic castle. The building was renovated in 1900 for the chocolate baron and philanthropist Antoni Amatller (1851–1910) and is partly open to the public. Renovation due for completion in 2012 will see the 1st (main) floor converted into a museum with period pieces.
