Entrance, El Quatre Gats cafe, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

Entrance to the cafe El Quatre Gats, on the ground floor of the Casa Marti, a Catalan Modernist building designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch in 1896, on Carrer Montsio, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The wrought iron balconies are by Manuel Ballerin and the sculptural elements by Eusebi Arnau and Josep Llimona. The cafe, hostel, cabaret, pub and restaurant was opened by Pere Romeu, 1862-1908, in 1897, inspired by the Le Chat Noir cafe in Paris, and was frequented by many Modernist figures, including Ramon Casas i Carbo, Santiago Rusinol, Miguel Utrillo and Pablo Picasso. The cafe closed in 1903, but was reopened in 1978, with Casa Marti restored in 1991. Picture by Manuel Cohen
