Castle of the Three Dragons
Castle of the Three Dragons
This modernist building was originally constructed as a café-restaurant for the 1888 Barcelona World's Fair. Designed by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, the structure is named after an 1865 play. Visitors go here to view an early example of Catalan Modernism and modernist architecture within the city's park system.
Getting There
The building is located in the Ciutadella Park area. From the city centre (Plaça de Catalunya), you can reach it via a short taxi ride or by using the local metro and walking. The journey typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on the mode of transport.
Visit Duration
Allow approximately 45 to 90 minutes to view the exterior architecture and explore the interior spaces.
When to Visit
The site is accessible year-round. Visiting during weekday mornings generally avoids the larger crowds that gather in the surrounding park during weekends and public holidays.
