Puig i Cadalfach's building is also known as the Casa de les Punxes (House of the Spikes), because of its sharply pointed gables and towers. Built between 1903 and 1905, its clearly modernist style is most evident in the floral sculptures on the façade, the use of red brick and in some of its Central European Gothic features. It was completely renovated at the end of the 1980s, but remains closed to public at present.
