Reasons to go

Designed by Salvador Valeri i Pupurull and completed in 1911, giving it a distinct Modernisme pedigree.
The building has two contrasting facades: a wavy, Gaudí-influenced stone front on Avinguda Diagonal and a colorful tile-and-timber Art Nouveau rear on Carrer de Còrsega.
It draws far fewer visitors than nearby Casa Batlló or Casa Milà despite comparable architectural interest, making it a lesser-known stop on an Eixample Modernisme walk.

📖

Full description

Designed by Salvador Valeri i Pupurull and completed in 1911, Casa Comalat is unusual for having two distinct architectural personalities, a wavy, Gaudí-influenced stone facade facing Avinguda Diagonal, and a more colorful, tile-and-timber Art Nouveau rear elevation visible from Carrer de Còrsega. Because it remains a private residential building, interior access is essentially nonexistent, and reviewers consistently note that admiring it from outside, ideally walking around to see both facades, is the extent of the visit.

Its relatively low profile compared to Casa Batlló or Casa Milà nearby makes it feel like an insider's find for those who know to look. A brief stop suited to Modernisme enthusiasts doing a wider architectural walk through the Eixample.

Reviews

A mind blowing place! Is private and can't be admired in detail sadly! I hope residents do appreciate the beauty of that GEM.
