Description

The Calvet House was built in Barcelona in 1898–1900 by architect Antoni Gaudi, commissioned by the textile factory owner Pere Martira Calveta y Carbonel, one of the attractions of the Catalan capital. House Calvet is the most traditional creation of Gaudi. It was for him in 1900 that the architect was awarded the Barcelona Municipal Award for the best building of the year. The main facade is crowned with images of two saints, the patron saint of the owner of the house of St. Peter and the patron of his hometown. Oak furniture of “organic” forms, unique in its artistic qualities, was created according to sketches of the architect himself. A part of it was subsequently lost, but a part was assembled in the same room, turned into a restaurant.
