Petrified snails: Sant Antoni's modernist fable.
- Sant AntoniCarrer de Tamarit 89, Barcelona
The venue
In Sant Antoni's core, at Carrer de Tamarit 89, a modernist building stands out for its uniqueness. Known as the House of Snails, its 1895 facade boasts hundreds of these mollusks, carved in stone, wrought iron, and sgraffito. Local lore links this peculiar design to grateful peasants who, legend has it, found treasure while snail hunting, honoring the creatures that led them to fortune. This building, with its architectural flair and local tales, kicks off the vibrant Paral·lel Avenue, Barcelona's historic cultural and entertainment hub. The House of Snails remains a quiet nod to urban history and the curiosities dotting the Eixample.
