The guided tour is €18 for adults and €13 for students. Under-7s are free. Tours run Fridays only: 4pm in English, 5pm in Spanish and 6pm in Catalan.

Can you visit without the tour?

No. The building is the Institut Ramon Llull's headquarters and only opens to the public for the Friday guided visits.

Is the tour kid-friendly?

It's a standard adult tour, but 50 minutes is short enough for architecture-curious kids, and the facade spotting game works for everyone.

What's nearby for a Modernisme mini-loop?

Casa de les Punxes is a block away and Casa Milà / La Pedrera is five minutes' walk down Passeig de Gràcia.

About

This palace has two different faces: a Gothic-style front crusted with gargoyles on Avinguda Diagonal and a curvy Modernista apartment block behind. Josep Puig i Cadafalch, the architect of Casa Amatller, rebuilt it in 1904 for the Baró de Quadras, and sculptor Eusebi Arnau packed the facade with dragons, knights, and improbable beasts that make a great spotting game. Now the Institut Ramon Llull's headquarters, it opens for 50-minute guided tours on Fridays.
