ADVANTAGES: The chocolate manufacturer Antoni Amatller bought a property at 101 (later 41)

Passeig de Gràcia: a house with a ground floor and four upper storeys with a garden.

Amatller commissioned to refurbish the property and that's how the story of one of the city's most iconic buildings began.

The architect's intervention gave rise to a radical transformation of the building. Puig i Cadafalch skilfully combined Catalonia's home-grown art nouveau style, ,

based on the use of traditional arts and crafts, with a neo-Gothic style and an unusual

stepped cornice inspired by the houses of the Netherlands. Some of the finest artists of the time, including Jujol, worked with Puig i Cadafalch on the project.

The house retains all its original furnishings and decoration, as well as an

outstanding archaeological glass collection . Antoni Amatller was not only a chocolatier, his chocolates are still being made today.
