#2339. Art Nouveau Facade with Decorative Frescoes and Monumental Gateway

Before us stands a magnificent example of early 20th century modernist architecture, likely belonging to Catalan Modernism or Art Nouveau style. The facade demonstrates the characteristic combination of decorative elements and functional structures typical of this era.

Particularly noteworthy are the monumental stone gate pillars (numbered 99 and 101), crowned with exquisite semi-circular decorative elements in the modernist style. The gate itself is an elegant blue metal structure featuring the characteristic Art Nouveau curves and decorative motifs in its lower section.

The building's facade is adorned with splendid frescoes featuring ornamental motifs typical of Art Nouveau, positioned between window openings and as decorative bands. The color palette is especially remarkable — restrained beige tones with contrasting decorative elements in red and blue, creating a harmonious visual rhythm.

The window frames with traditional blue wooden shutters blend organically into the overall architectural ensemble. The richness of details, including ornamental reliefs, frescoes, and wrought iron elements, demonstrates the Art Nouveau typical aspiration to synthesize various art forms in architecture.
