Iconic Casa Amatller Chocolate 🍫
Casa Amatller is one of the Modernist style monuments that sits at Barcelona’s main promenade, Passeig de Gracia, right next to one of Gaudí’s masterpieces, Casa Batlló.
Casa Amatller was designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, one very important name in Catalan modernist architecture style, at the level of Antoni Gaudí. It was the residence of the Amatller family, a wealthy family in the chocolate business.
Still to this day the Amatller Chocolate brand is very popular around Spain, and in the souvenir shop/cafe at the ground floor of the building you can purchase a very special for Christmas, the advent calendar.
This is a special design edition that showcases the facade of Casa Amatller with little numbered pockets containing tiles of chocolate inside.
You are supposed to open them day by day, from the 1st to the 24th of December.
Certainly a pretty gift to get into the Christmas mood with a touch of iconic architecture and design.

Amatye House, this building is in Barcelona's famous disharmony building, I feel that the buildings here are quite interesting, looking at its strange shape from a distance, in fact, it is more spiritual, more interesting, like art students can come here to visit
The building of Barcelona Amatje House is very weird. If you look far away, it feels very strange, but if you look closely, the set is rhythmic, it is spiritual, and the idea that he was involved at the beginning was to low-key, but the glass wall inside was more eye-catching. Feeling very design
Casa Amatller is not Gaudi's work, it is a residence designed by an architect named JosepPuig i Cadafalch (Jose • Puihe • Kardafark) for chocolate merchant Anthony • Amatye. Figure ② The roof is very knowledgeable Dutch characteristics, inspired by the chocolate manufacturing industry where its owner is located, it is like a piece of • a piece of fragrant chocolate that has been plucked into the entrance. There is no doubt that the roof has become the icon of Casa Amatller. The home of Amatye stands next door to the house of Batrow, and has been used to its companion village for more than a hundred years. I sometimes feel aggrieved about this situation, and the world has flocked to the disharmony block, most of them are admired by Gaudi, and ignore the other beautiful things around them, how blind. If you look at the building and take a little more time to really walk into it, you will find it is more elaborate than even the house of Batllo. If your taste is the same as mine, you will also especially like the flower gravure on the entrance stairs wall (Figure 4), the white appendix line drawing wallpaper in the tourist preparation hall full of age (Figure ⑤) The large painted glass windows in the restaurant (Figure) . and the carved oak furniture in the daughter's room
Booking in advance is cheap and convenient
Amateyer's house is close to Bartleau's house. It is one of the most famous buildings in the disharmonious neighborhood. The open white house uses color mosaics in the decoration of its doors. Its appearance is as beautiful as a palace, especially the design of its windows is very classical.
