Casa Marti, Cercle Artistic de Sant Lluc

"The Casa Marti is a modernista building designed by the catalan architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch (1867-1956) in 1896, having been commissioned by relatives of Francesc Vilumara, a textile magnate. It stands at Carrer Montsió, 3, Barcelona.
On the ground floor there is the "Els Quatre Gats" tavern, which was one of the artistic and cultural epicentres of Barcelona between 1897 and 1903. Ramon Casas, Santiago Rusiñol and Pablo Picasso were amongst the illustrious figures who ate and drank here.The bar closed in 1903 and was later used by the Cercle Artistic de Sant Lluc until the start of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. In the 1970s, a group of restaurateurs took steps to revive it, and it reopened in 1989."
