# Castell dels Tres Dragons: general view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DOMÈNECH I MONTANER, Lluís]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary The "Castell dels Tres Dragons" \("Castle of the three dragons"\) was built as the Café-Restaurant, part of the 1888 Barcelona Universal Exposition. This building demonstrates two of Domènech i Montaner's signature qualities: his rationalist concern and his predilection for brick. After the exhibition, it was here that he and some other artists set up a workshop for architecture-related arts in line with the Modernist ideal of artistic integration. From 1920 to 2010, this building housed the Barcelona Zoology Museum. ## Related artworks - [Casa Fuster: exterior view]() - [Casa Fuster: exterior view]() - [Casa Navàs: exterior]() - [Casa Navàs: exterior]() - [Casa Navàs: gallery]() - [Casa Navàs: interior]() - [Detail of the entrance]() - [Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau: main façade]() - [Interior view]() - [View of the façade]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
