Casa Muntadas, designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, is a Modernista house protected as an asset of local interest on Av del Tibidabo in Barcelona.

Cultural heritage

Surviving photographs from around 1901 show Avinguda del Tibidabo still under construction, with the Tramvia Blau already running and, in the distance, the silhouette of the Muntadas House. The first houses built here were made for the shareholders of the Tibidabo S.A. Company, to encourage others to move into the area. The very first of these was made for Lluís Muntadas, an engineer and the owner of the company that installed the tram. The house was designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch and the gardens by the prolific landscape architect Nicolau Rubió i Tudurí. The façade is covered in stucco work with floral designs, imitating the decorations used on Catalan farmhouses.
