The Catalonia Diagonal Centro hotel is also very close to the center of Plaza Cataluña, 4 minutes by train from the Provence stop.
Did you know that these three modernist buildings, Casa Amatller, Casa Batlló and Casa Lleó Morera together with two more houses form the well-known La apple de la discordia? This is because of the rivalry between the best known modernist artists: Domènech i Montaner, Puig i Cadafalch and Antoni Gaudí.
