NOTES: The Casa Amatller was a conversion by the architect Josep Puig i Cadalfach of an existing building of 1875, belonging to a chocolate manufacturer. He also created a new facade with a crow stepped gable and conceived a series of neo-medieval sculptures carried out by the artists Eusebi Arnau and Alfons Juyoi.
