Casa de les Punxes

Fodor's Review:

Also known as Casa Terrades, for the family that commissioned it, this cluster of six conical towers ending in impossibly sharp needles is one of several Puig i Cadafalch inspirations rooted in the Gothic architecture of northern Europe, an ur-Bavarian or Danish castle in downtown Barcelona. It's one of the few freestanding Eixample buildings visible from 360 degrees.
