The preserved Modernist mansion of wealthy chocolatier Antoni Amatller

Casa Amatller, a trip back in time, dates back to 1875. In 1898-1900, it underwent a transformation at the hands of the wealthy chocolatier Antoni Amatller, who brought the distinctive Modernist style to the property under the architectural guidance of Josep Puig i Cadafalch.

After his death in 1910, the house remained the home of Amatller's daughter until her death in 1960. Because the house remained in the family, the interior from 1900 has remained largely preserved intact to the present day.

Today, the building houses a museum, café, and the Amatller Institute for Hispanic Art, hosting tours and scholarly studies. Casa Amatller is part of the Illa de la Discòrdia, known for its unique and contrasting modern buildings.
