Walking up Carrer de Bolívar you cannot help but notice one particular building: the Casa Comas d’Argemir, which looks so much like a fairy-tale castle.

A fairy-tale castle
The circular tower on the corner and fortress-like appearance of the house leave no room for doubt over its source of inspiration. This is a free re-creation of the French châteaux of the Middle Ages, buildings that its architect had a good knowledge of. It was through this unique design that the owners were also able to show off their wealth and social rank.
End of the journey
The architect, who was famous for having designed the Arc de Triomf, channelled all the artistic baggage he had acquired over the years into this project That is why this totally eclectic work freely combines the basic forms of a medieval castle with purely Modernista elements, such as the use of the parabolic arc at the entrance or the glazed ceramic material on the roof of the tower. The extensive ornamentation mixes Mudejar, Gothic and Art Nouveau features.
