Barcelona’s windows never fail to impress.
These particular fenestrations belong to a neo-classical building, built on the site of the former palace of the first Count of Barcelona. Previously a furniture shop, the building was renovated a couple of years ago and is now home to a boutique hotel. The historical facade contrasts with the modern eyeball-like spheres that adorn it, a sculptural work by artist and sculptor Frederic Amat.
The same building at night, when the eclectic mix of old and new comes into its own.
