The building:
Is a classic 6 story building from the beginnings of the 20th century with three more floors added many years later. There is an elevator (16 steps up from the building entrance level) that stops in between floors.
Location:
In the Eixample district (development of the city planned by the engineer Ildefons Cerdà and begun in the second half of the 19th century due to the necessity to extend the city when the medieval old walls were torn down). The Eixample (Catalan for "extension", Spanish for “el Ensanche”) is a big area in Barcelona between the old city (Ciutat Vella) and what were once surrounding small towns (Sants, Gràcia, Sant Andreu etc.). Developed in the second half of 19th and early 20th centuries, some parts of the Eixample were heavily influenced by Modernist architects, as Antoni Gaudí, Domenech I Muntaner, Puig I Cadafalch and others.
Well located in the area, the building is close to the Plaça Catalunya, the Gothic Neighborhood, the Ramblas and to many more sights of interest in the Eixample District and of the old town, like the Central University of Barcelona, the Macba Museum, the CCCB (Centre de Cultura Contemporanea de Barcelona), theaters and lots of bars and restaurants.
