In the heart of Barcelona’s Eixample district, along the prestigious Rambla de Catalunya, stands a building that embodies history, style, and distinction: Cases Godó‑Lallana. Located at numbers 112–114, on the corner with Carrer Rosselló, this residence is not only a testament to early 20th-century architecture …
These unbaked tiles were first presented at the 1867 Paris Universal Exhibition by the company Garret, Rivet & Co. The simplicity of the technique and the low cost of materials led to this type of flooring becoming very popular in homes and buildings throughout the Mediterranean region during the first half of the 20th century.
Hydraulic tiles were especially suited to warm climates, standing out not only for their durability and ease of repair but also for their unique beauty and the ability to create highly varied geometric and decorative patterns. These characteristics allowed this architectural element to reach its peak during the Catalan Modernism period, becoming an aesthetic symbol of the era.
Leading manufacturers collaborated with renowned artists such as Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Enric Sagnier, Lluís Domènech i Montaner and Antoni Gaudí to design more complex and artistic tiles, integrating geometric, floral, or symbolic motifs that enhanced the interior and exterior aesthetics of the buildings.
Hydraulic tiles reached their architectural peak and recognition during the Modernist period, when great artists left their mark on some of the tiles that still decorate the main streets of Barcelona today. One of the most emblematic examples is the tiles designed by Gaudí, which can still be seen on Passeig de Gràcia, although it is in the Quadrat d’Or where this decorative technique truly shines.
Historic buildings such as Casa Batlló and La Pedrera by Antoni Gaudí, Casa Amatller or Casa Macaya by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, and Cases Montaner i Simó and Casa Lleó Morera by Lluís Domènech i Montaner feature hydraulic tiles as a distinctive element on the floors of these bourgeois estates. This type of flooring can also be found in offices, homes, and commercial spaces throughout the Eixample of Barcelona, establishing itself as a classic of the city’s Modernist architecture.
Today, hydraulic tiles are objects of restoration and preservation, and their original design continues to inspire new applications, from vinyl flooring to contemporary interior reproductions. In this section, you will find a wide range of hydraulic tile imitation vinyls and vinyl rugs, characteristic of Catalan Modernism, so you can choose the design that best suits your space and style.
We also offer hands-on workshops where you can learn to create your own hydraulic tiles, discovering firsthand the original technique, materials, and creativity that define this iconic flooring.

Construido entre 1905 y 1908 como sede del Orfeón Catalán, el Palacio de la Música Catalana es uno de los monumentos más emblemáticos del modernismo catalán y como una de las salas de conciertos más singulares del mundo. El arquitecto Lluís Domènech i Montaner concibió este edificio como un santuario para la música coral catalana, emplazado sobre el solar del antiguo convento de San Francisco de Paula, con la primera piedra colocada en el día de Sant Jordi de 1905.
La Sala de Conciertos, joya del palacio, deslumbra por su acústica impecable, que ha enamorado a músicos de renombre internacional. Su espacio luminoso y colorido, definido por vidrieras y un cuidado minucioso de cada detalle, transporta al espectador a un mundo de fantasía, donde la música y la luz se funden con la naturaleza y el arte. La enorme claraboya de cristal coloreado —con forma de campana invertida y más de una tonelada de peso— simboliza un corazón de ángeles femeninos rodeando el sol, mientras que las vidrieras y la estructura de acero ligera filtran la luz exterior, recreando la atmósfera mística de las catedrales góticas.
El palacio está adornado con bustos, relieves y esculturas, que evocan figuras musicales y mitológicas, desde las musas que rodean el escenario hasta las valquirias de Wagner que surgen del techo. Elementos de la naturaleza —flores mediterráneas, palmeras y frutas— dialogan con las columnas revestidas de trencadís, cada una única, que simbolizan la alegría y la unión de arte y vida, siguiendo el ideal modernista. Los mosaicos, elaborados en los talleres de Lluís Bru, completan un conjunto armónico que convierte cada visita en un paseo por la fantasía y la sensibilidad artística.
Más allá de su valor arquitectónico, el Palacio de la Música Catalana es un centro cultural vibrante, con más de 600 conciertos anuales y 350.000 visitantes turísticos. Experiencias sensoriales como «Essència Palau», que combina aromas, literatura y música, permiten una inmersión profunda en la riqueza artística y arquitectónica del lugar. La visita puede concluir en la Sala Lluís Millet, un salón de descanso modernista que da a una pequeña terraza con columnas decoradas con mosaicos, un remanso de belleza y serenidad.
Localización: C/ Sant Pere Més Alt, s/n
Cómo llegar: Autobuses V15, V17 y 45; Metro Urquinaona, líneas 1 y 4
