Edifici Alhambra
Historicism and legend: the Moorish touch on Berlinès 5.
- Sant Gervasi - GalvanyC Berlinès 5
The venue
Nestled in Sant Gervasi-Galvany, the Edifici Alhambra at C Berlinès 5 is a unique expression of neo-Moorish historicism in Barcelona. Built in 1875 by Domènec Balet i Nadal, this residential building stands as a relic of late 19th-century Orientalist aesthetics. Popular lore links it to a German merchant who sought to soothe his Granadan wife's homesickness by replicating the renowned Alhambra. Beyond the legend, its facades with Islamic arches and stained glass, and especially its interior —featuring a replica of the Patio de los Leones— confirm it as a protected architectural gem, revealing a unique stylistic dialogue within Barcelona's urban landscape.
