Casa Verdú – Modernism in Barcelona’s Eixample District
We are standing in front of the building known as Casa Verdú, located at 103 Rambla de Cataluña, at the intersection with Provenza Street, in the emblematic Eixample district of Barcelona.
This property is a remarkable example of Barcelona’s Modernist architecture. It was designed between 1903 and 1904 by architect Maurici Augé i Robert, with later contributions by Melcior Viñals and Salvador Viñals, which further enriched its artistic and architectural value.
The chamfered façade reflects the characteristic layout of Barcelona’s urban expansion, yet it stands out for its refined ornamental composition. Among its most notable features are the wrought iron balconies, showcasing organic and flowing forms inspired by nature; the glazed ceramic elements, introducing a subtle polychromy typical of the Modernist style; and the window and lintel moldings, decorated with delicate floral and geometric motifs.
Particularly noteworthy is the vertical axis at the corner, conceived as the main compositional element, which visually organizes the entire building and gives it a distinguished urban presence.

Located at one of the most iconic entrances to Barcelona’s Eixample district, the Residential Building of Plaça Francesc Macià is a landmark that defines the city’s urban personality and invites you to discover Barcelona’s architectural elegance from the 1930s.
This monumental building represents one of the most refined expressions of Beaux-Arts – Classical Monumentalism in the city. It stands out for its semi-circular façade, grand central dome, and intricate details inspired by European architectural traditions.
Built in 1935, the building was designed by the Barcelona-born architect Josep Rodríguez Lloveras, renowned for creating works with strong urban presence. Its style combines classical monumentality with elements typical of major European capitals, resulting in a structure distinguished by sobriety, elegance, and uniqueness.
The semi-circular façade recalls the famous Royal Crescent in Bath (United Kingdom), creating an enveloping effect that gives Plaça Francesc Macià a uniquely noble character.
During your visit, you will be able to admire:
Classical columns and ornamental reliefs
Decorative pediments, vases, and sculptural volutes
Slate mansard roofs on the upper levels, unusual in Barcelona
Grand central dome serving as the visual axis
Side pavilions enhancing the building’s monumentality
Unique sailboat prows atop the façade, evoking the Mediterranean spirit of the city
These elements make the Residential Building of Plaça Francesc Macià a true architectural dialogue between Barcelona and the great European capitals.
Located at a key urban node, the building serves as a city landmark, marking the transition between historic Barcelona and the modern expansion of the Eixample. From this perspective, you can admire the harmony between urban design and monumental architecture, enjoying a unique journey through the city’s history.
