It occupies the block formed by the Passeig d’Isabel II, the Pla de Palau and the streets of Reina Cristina and Llauder, plots of land that were urbanized in 1834 as a result of the demolition of the sea wall. The building was the first to appear in daguerreotype done in Spain and is decorated with Masonic symbols.

5. Els Quatre Gats, at 3, Carrer Montsió, was the tavern founded by Pere Romeu, Ramon Casas, Santiago Rusiñol, Miquel Utrillo and others in 1897, in imitation of Rodolphe Salis’s Parisian cabaret, Le Chat Noir, for the purpose of holding gatherings for artists, as a concert and exhibition hall, and for puppet shows and shadow plays. The premises were on the ground floor of a fine building designed by Puig i Cadafalch and it advertised itself as a «gothic beer hall for those who love the North and an Andalusian courtyard for those who love the South». The bar itself was in the smaller room, with two large pictures by Casas in a prominent position and advertising posters, one of which was for the menu and was painted by Picasso. The exhibitions and concerts were held in the larger room.

About Barcelona

Barcelona setter Gaudís fantasifulle bygninger og et middelaldersk gotisk kvarter mellom middelhavsstrender og grønne åser, med mat og nattliv som matcher.

Antoni Gaudís verk definerer byens bilde. Sagrada Família reiser seg over Eixample, Casa Batlló og Casa Milà kanter den elegante Passeig de Gràcia, og Park Güells mosaikkterrasser ser ut over takene. Det gotiske kvarter har bevart katedralen, de smale smugene og skjulte plasser, og El Born legger til Picasso-museet og den høye kirken Santa Maria del Mar.

Top-ranked sights in Barcelona: Sagrada Família, Montserrat Mountain, Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic).
