The Main Entrance

Gaudí designed an innovative double entrance, with too doors, that connected to the coach house by means of the vestibule, meant that carriages could easily arrive and depart.These doors, the first in Barcelona to be manufactured in wrought iron, are comprised of a forged iron structure that also supports the gates, simulating the bodies of two snakes that are found in the upper part, around the initials of the developer.

Well done! The small square of white in the doorway gives a point of interest in a dark spot....
