One of the most striking buildings of Barcelona is the Terrade House, or House of the Peaks as it is commonly called because of the spires of the weather vanes and lightening conductors that rise above it.

This is the most voluminous building of the Eixample, with triangular shape that is delimited by the block of which it stands, situated between the streets Roger de Lluria, Bruc and the Diagonal. It was designed by the architect Josep Puig Cadafalch, who built it between 1903 and 1905.

This building has a medieval air, with 2 round towers that reflect a pronounced taste for the central European civil gothic style. In 1975 it was declared as national historical monument. In 1980 it was completely refurbished.
