This unique building of Passeig de Gràcia was the residence of the chocolatier entrepeneur Antoni Amatller Costa (1851-1910), who traveled throughout Europe visiting chocolate factories and inherited the family business from his father and uncle before turning 25.
Now, in addition to visiting the Casa Amatller you can taste its legendary chocolate at the end of your visit. A visit in which you will see dragons, knights and other mythical characters on the facade, and in which you can explore with the help of an audio guide the majestic doors of the stately bedrooms with allegorical sculptures, the dressing rooms and bathrooms, the dining room, the music room and a room next to the kitchen. In the different rooms you will see the furniture that Antoni Amatller Costa and his family used when they lived in the house.
This visit will allow you to know one of the most emblematic works of Puig i Cadafalch (one of the most famous architects of Barcelona of the Gaudí era), it will give you an idea of how a rich family lived at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th in Barcelona, and will allow you to extend the experience with the tasting of the famous Amatller sweets and a delicious cup of hot chocolate at the end of the visit.
