Casa Longoria

Fodor's Review:

A moderniste palace commissioned in 1902 by the businessman and politician Javier González Longoria, the Casa Longoria was built by José Grases Riera, a Catalan architect who was also a disciple of Gaudí. The winding shapes, the plant motifs, and the wrought-iron balconies are reminiscent of Gaudí's works in Barcelona. The building's jewel is its main iron, bronze, and marble staircase; unfortunately this is off-limits to tourists, because the building is now in private hands.
