Barcelona’s Palau Macaya is located on Passeig de Sant Joan on one of the borders of the Quadrat d’Or. It’s a modernist building made for housing by the architect Puig i Cadafalch, who also did the Casa Ametller from the same period. The influence for the Palau Macaya is clearly gothic, which can be seen in its exterior windows and the great interior staircase. The house is built around a large interior patio and its white stucco façade gives it a very Mediterranean feel. Years ago, it was the headquarters of the La Caixa Foundation until that was moved to CaixaForum.
