The «walk» of Modernism
This avenue connects the center of Barcelona with the old town of Gràcia, that was named after the old 15th century monastery of Santa Maria de Gracia, better known as the Josepets Church. It was originally located in Via Laietana and it is currently in the square of Lesseps.
In this avenue you will find the so-called Manzana de la Discordia, between the street of Consell de Cent, Aragó and Rambla Catalunya, where there are three singular buildings of the highest members of Catalan Modernism: the polychrome Casa Batlló by Antonio Gaudí of 1906; The Casa Amatller, with gothic-germanic features, a work of 1900 by Josep Puig i Cadafalch and the house Lleó Morera of 1905, during the floral period of Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
