Casa Sayrach - Free Audio Guide

Casa Sayrach is an early 20th-century Modernisme residence in Barcelona’s Eixample district, historically linked to the Sayrach family. It represents Catalan Modernisme with an elegant, curving façade, refined stone and wrought-iron detailing, and richly ornamented interiors containing carved wood, mosaic and sculptural elements. Historically the building illustrates the city’s urban expansion and the bourgeois culture of the era and highlights the craftsmanship of local ateliers. Culturally, Casa Sayrach forms part of Barcelona’s collection of Modernist architecture and is appreciated for its balanced proportions, decorative programme and relationship to the surrounding streetscape. Principal attractions include the façade composition, the stairwell volumes, decorative ironwork and interior ornamentation. Public access is occasional; admission arrangements and accessibility provisions vary according to management and special programmes.
