Casa Serra is situated in the modernist Heart of L’eixample – the famous “Expansion“ of the city in the 19th Century under the direction of the Master Architect Idelfons Cerdá.

The area is divided into two halves “L’eixample Dreta” (the right expansion) and “L’eixample Esquerra” (the left expansion) by the spacious boulevard “Passeig de Gracia”the old road from the mediaeval city connecting the then nearby village of Gracia to the North West. The colonial years in Spain saw the development of this road into the elegant avenue we see today as newly wealthy émigré traders and merchants returned to Barcelona and built large townhouses designed by the leading architects of the time. The result is uniquegiving Paseo de Gracia the largest concentration of “Modernisme” or art noveu residences in Europe today.
