Casa Pomar

Facade of Casa Pomar

Casa Pomar is a modernist apartment building located at number 86, Carrer de Girona, Barcelona.

Designed by the Catalan architect Joan Rubió y Bellver (1871-1952), a pupil of Antoni Gaudí, construction of the building began in 1904 and was completed in 1906.

Despite the building having a narrow facade, its architect achieved a distinctive appearance for the building’s western side with the construction of a bow window on the first floor, above which are several balconies on upper floors. The bow window’s base is constructed of green ceramic tiles and wrought iron, its appearance inspired by the neo-gothic style.
