Casa Lleó Morera (Lluís Domčnech i Montaner)

The Casa Lleó Morera stands on the southern corner of the block known as the "mansana de la discňrdia" (block of discord), where the Casa Amatller, by Puig i Cadafalch, and the Casa Batlló, by Antoni Gaudí, are also located. The locals gave this prime property in the heart of the Eixample the name due to the disparate styles of the three outstanding buildings. Today, everyone agrees that it is this disparity which makes one of Barcelona’s major Modernisme landmarks great.In 1905, the Lleó Morera family commissioned the architect Lluís Domčnech i Montaner to totally refurbish their home which had stood on the Passeig de Grŕcia since 1864. The creative endeavours of a considerable number of artists and artisans, who worked closely together under the supervision of the architect, resulted in an ensemble of outstanding quality. The sculptors Eusebi Arnau and Alfons Juyol, the stained-glass artists Rigalt and Granell, and the mosaicists Mario Maragliano and Lluís Bru were just some of the people who brought their creative talents to the project.

Great POV and capture. I know exactly where this building is, but of course it was closed to the public and we couldn't go in. V.
