Casa de les Punxes

Casa Terradas (Casa de les Punxes)

A fairy-tale castle with six pointed towers

Address

Avinguda Diagonal 420, on a triangular block where three streets meet

People assume it's Gaudí, but Puig i Cadafalch designed it. Red brick, six cone-roofed towers, and sculpture and tile on every corner turn a whole block into a castle. On the roof the towers are right next to you and the Eixample rooftops roll out beyond. Even from the pavement opposite it earns a photo.
