APARTMENT IN ART-DÉCO HISTORICAL HERITAGE ESTATE - PLACA ESPANA

Located approximately 150 meters from Plaça d’Espanya, this exclusive 73 m2 apartment with 3 bedrooms represents a unique opportunity to live in one of Barcelona's most characterful and historically significant buildings. Situated in a listed building recognized by the Barcelona City Council as an architectural heritage site with an Art Deco style, the apartment stands out as one of the best in the entire building thanks to its privileged balcony and its impressive open views of Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, providing exceptional light and a sense of spaciousness.

The apartment retains the essence of Barcelona's most elegant early 20th-century style, preserving original elements of immense architectural and decorative value: 3-meter-high ceilings, original woodwork, interior doors with stained glass and leaded glass in shades of green and red, as well as a spectacular semicircular Modernista window with artistic stained glass inspired by the Catalan Modernisme movement of emblematic architects such as Antoni Gaudí and Josep Puig i Cadafalch.

The property, with its distinct Art Deco and Noucentista influences, stands out for its elegant and understated lines, geometric details, architectural symmetry, and refined wrought ironwork—characteristics highly valued in Barcelona's prime real estate market.

The property has been meticulously renovated to offer maximum modern comfort, including a completely new electrical system, a remodeled kitchen, and a new bathroom, while respecting the home's authenticity and original character.
With three bedrooms, this property is ideal for those seeking an authentic piece of Barcelona's architectural history, combining a prime location, heritage exclusivity, and timeless elegance.
Barcelona's Art Deco heritage, though overshadowed by Modernism, is notable for its geometric elegance and monumental scale from the 1920s and 30s. Iconic buildings include the Casa José de Ugarte (1933), the former El Siglo department store (Can Damians), and the Cal'Illa factory in Poblenou, showcasing European influence on Barcelona's architecture.
The Plaça Espanya area is notable for the modern Arenas de Barcelona shopping center, which retains its original Neo-Mudéjar façade. A former bullring, it now houses shops, restaurants, cinemas, and a panoramic terrace with 360º views. It is a crucial commercial and transit hub connecting to the Montjuïc fairgrounds.

Fashion boutiques, cinemas, a gym, and a wide variety of restaurants, especially on its rooftop terrace, are available.
Located next to the Fira de Barcelona, the Venetian Towers, and Avinguda Reina Maria Cristina, it boasts excellent transport links.
A bustling hub, it serves as a meeting point between Montjuïc tourists and the city's commercial district.
