Casa Lleó Morera is a Modernist building on Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona’s Eixample, designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. Its façade rewards a slow look: find the floral and geometric patterns, sculptures, ceramic tiles and detailed balconies. The building stands beside Casa Amatller and Casa Batlló on the stretch known as the Block of Discord, where different architectural styles sit close together. The interior is not open for public tours, so plan this as an exterior stop and pair it with nearby Modernist buildings.
