Cases Rocamora

Designed by the brothers Joaquim and Bonaventura Bassegoda, 1914.

I had posted an earlier, less complete, picture of this building, but it really is quite spectacular with its many domes, and I really wanted those domes. Every time we passed it (which was often) I tried to get a decent view of it, but it wasn't easy because of all the trees, wires, street lights, stop lights, signs and of course traffic if attempted from the street. This was what I finally managed to come up with.

Good picture, Helen. It is hard to get any of these buildings in one frame, without getting run over!
