Cultural heritage

Sculptured architecture

The sculpture work is a characteristic trait of this building. The bay window decoration, which includes gargoyles and other medieval elements, stands out here, along with the balcony balustrades, the first two made of stone and the other two of wrought iron. At the top small, semicircular balconies alternate with merlons adorned with the four stripes and the cross of Sant Jordi (St George).

Symbol of a powerful bourgeoisie

The Modernista movement was often linked to the wealthy classes, who commissioned opulent buildings to show off their wealth. Casa Llorenç Camprubí was no exception. As the residence of a rich family, the initials of its owner, LC, dominate the door frame. It is part of the so-called Quadrat d’Or, or Golden Square, an area it shares with Barcelona Modernisme’s most important houses.
