Casa Lleó Morera (Lluís Domčnech i Montaner)

The façade and the mezzanine were decorated with different types of ornamentation, of which the sculptures by Eusebi Arnau depicting two couples of female figures were the most notable, although they were destroyed in a remodel of the house's ground floor in 1943. On the façade are repeated allusions to the family's surname Morera (which means mulberry in English) represented through the use of different materials, and symbols of 20th century inventions. The façade is crowned by a tempietto that exceeds the height permitted by the Barcelona City Council, so the builders had to ask for the necessary construction permit.

I have to admit, I never stopped in Barcelona. When I look at your images, I think: this was my error. This city is definitely on my "to visit before you die" list!
