Despite the fact that both share the same architectural style, there are significant differences between them.<\/p>\n<p>The fa\u00e7ade of the building, which faces Avenida Diagonal, features the usual curved lines and decorative details typical of Modernism. Organic shapes and large balconies stand out. Despite these elements, the Casa Comalat facade exudes a sobriety that has nothing to do with modernism. <strong>what the rear fa\u00e7ade of Calle C\u00f3rcega conveys.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Calle C\u00f3rcega facade is an excellent counterpoint to the Avenida Diagonal facade. As a result, the curved forms are much more accentuated and the facade is much more colorful. Much of this color is the result of the use of polychrome ceramics combined with its striking green shutters, <strong>who are responsible for covering the wooden galleries.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc129948371\"><\/a><strong>A similarity with Gaudi's work<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The fact that many people find reasonable similarities between various details of the Casa Comalat and those seen in some of Antoni Gaud\u00ed's works is due to the fact that many of the elements have a more than obvious similarity. The glazed ceramic roof that crowns the building closely resembles the dragon scales on the upper part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/casa-batllo-barcelona\/\">Casa Batll\u00f3<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the reform of the C\u00f3rcega street fa\u00e7ade in 2009, which brought it back to its former glory, Casa Comalat is one of the Modernist buildings that has undergone the fewest modifications and alterations. As a result, both its facade and interior preserve the original appearance of<strong> this building with over 100 years of history.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc129948372\"><\/a><strong>Inside the building and tours of Casa Comalat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The building's exterior is often reminiscent of Gaud\u00ed's work. However, the same cannot be said of the interior. The spirit of modernism really shines through. It is so overloaded that it sometimes reminds us of baroque or even rococo. Without a doubt, it's a counterpoint to other modernist buildings, which despite a decoration filled with detail and color, <strong>are not as numerous or ornate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc129948373\"><\/a><strong>Is it possible to visit the interior of Casa Comalat?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Given the beauty of its fa\u00e7ade, many tourists are keen to visit the interior of Casa Comalat. Unfortunately, as it is a private residence, with apartments and offices, <strong>it cannot be visited.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inside, the enduring decorative use of ceramics stands out on walls and ceilings, as well as in common areas and private quarters. There's also the presence of a large number of <strong>silkscreen prints, relief ceilings and fantastically colorful stained-glass windows.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wood is also the protagonist inside the building, particularly in the hall, where in addition to having various ornamental wooden elements and details, there is an authentic bench dating back to the early XIX\u1d49 century. It is the only bench of this style currently to be found <strong>in the lobby of a modernist building.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc129948374\"><\/a><strong>How do I get there?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Located next to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/casa-mila-barcelona-pedrera\/\">Casa Mila<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/casa-batllo-barcelona\/\">Casa Batllo<\/a>It's easy to get there.
