The area
Address
Neighborhood: Eixample
Passing through the glorious Plaça Catalunya, you enter the newer city district of Eixample, literally translated as “extension,” which immediately becomes recognizable by its more spacious streets and elegant atmosphere. The main artery of this sizable district, Passeig de Gracia, is lined with high-end international designer stores. Not to be outdone, the glitz and glamour of this zone is perhaps best exemplified by the comfortable and lavish five-star hotels that flank the divine and modernistic buildings from some of the world’s most recognized architects such as Gaudi and Montaner.

The most peculiar thing about this building is its two facades. One on Diagonal and another on Córcega Street. Work of the brilliant architect Salvador Valeri who was hired by a rich textile industrialist: Juan Comalat.
You can guess great Gaudian influences, which is why I recommend it to his followers.

Salvador Valeri i Pupurull, a great architect who executed this great work that is on diagonal avenue number 442. On the outside I have left you thinking a little about Gaudí, apparently he was a disciple of him. You can go around the block because behind there is still great access to this home. And if you are lucky enough to enter the portal, you will see something wonderful, something that you have never seen before in a portal, no matter how many portals you see in Barcelona that leave you frozen, it will not leave you indifferent. It is a shame that this building has not been visited, but I understand because it is all privately owned. I also start to think that the day these owners have to do a renovation, they are going to have to struggle and have a hard time doing it because it is practically impossible to reproduce what is inside that property...

Beautiful building front and back. We passed by it on our way to Xurreria Trebol and could not help but stop and admire this beautiful structure. It looks a bit like Casa Batllo. This is not open to the public, but one can look at front and back from the street.

Casa Comalat is a building on Avinguda Diagonal and one of many examples of Catalan Modernism on the same street, especially the stone grills over the entrances and windows, bar grills over the bay windows, the elaborate decorations on the facade especially underneath the roof cornice. Sadly, the building is a private residence and I had to just make do with admiring it fro the outside.
Worth a look if on Avinguda Diagonal.

On seeing of this colorful building I followed directions and sped down the Diagonal to find it - only to be confronted with this dull, anaemic, achromatic building...
I'm thinking - perhaps they stripped the paint to restore it or something??
Anyway fast forward I'm walking down Carrer Còrsega and I'm blinded by this incredibly bizarre psychedelic building! It looked as if a pink and turquoise cake had dropped out of the sky and squashed another building beneath it, it's gooey icing oozing off the sides and onto the sidewalk! Mesmerized I searched for its name - because there was no way that that building on the opposite side of the block bore the same identity.
You MUST find the happier persona of Casa Comalat - and it's close to Casa de les Punxes which is a great-see as well.

You won’t find crowds around this one, but it is just as lovely as Casa Battlo. It is on the corner of the street, perfectly hidden away from a major road. Gorgeous balconies, lovely windows and the colors, the colors! Very much worth a short side trip to check it out.

At the bottom of Gràcia between the Diagonal and Carrer Còrsega, this often overlooked Moderniste house built in 1911 is a must see in a visit to Barcelona. The reason such an outstanding piece of architecture is not on everyone's priority list is probably because it is not open to the public, contrary to what happens to the nearby La Pedrera and Casa Batlló. You have to limit yourself to admire its two splendid (and very different) façades from the outside. For a look at the most inventive side of this lower Gràcia Art Nouveau gem, cut down past Casa Fuster at the bottom of Gran de Gràcia, take a left on Bonavista, then a right on Santa Teresa down to Casa Comalat just across Carrer Còrsega. This Salvador Valeri i Pupurull creation is one of Barcelona's most interesting Moderniste houses, especially this side of it, with its bulging polychrome ceramic balconies and its melted wax-like underpinnings.

Casa Comalat is a gorgeous building. You can definitely see the influences of Gaudi but with a twist. If you can get inside the lobby, it's worth a peak at the ceramic work and beautifully painted walls and celings. I hear they're putting a little hotel in on the first floor. I can't wait to stay there!

My favorite building in Barcelona, it's absolutely fabulous, but the doorman/guard is very rude. I tried to have a look at the incredible vestibule, but the doorman immediately kicked me out in a very rude way : I entered and politely asked him if I could just take a quick picture of the entrance, he said no and then closed the massive door on my foot ! ..... Be carefull !

Another modernist house on Avinguda Diagonal, this one was designed by the architect Salvador Valeri i Pupurull in 1906. He was obviously influenced by Gaudi’s work, which is greatly visible in the curves which are comprised on both facades (one facing the Avinguda Diagonal and the other facing Carrer de Corsega) of the building. It is a real hidden jewel of the area!

Üdvözlöm. Jan. 1-én szeretnénk 4-en megnézni a casa comalatot. Kérdésem, hogy a tulajdonos megengedi-e, hogy a belső teret is megcsodáljuk. Szívesen fizetnénk belépődíjat.
Köszönettel: Anna Szabóné

Is Casa Comalat ever open to the public? Maybe by appointment? It's so beautiful inside. We're planning to visit Barcelona in August. Is there any way to get in?
