Antoni Gaudí complex built between 1883 and 1887 on Avinguda de Pedralbes, during his Orientalist period. Its most famous feature is the dragon-shaped iron gate, by the blacksmith Joan Oñós, which represents Ladon, guardian of the garden of the Hesperides. It was home to the Royal Gaudí Chair between 1968 and 2008 and opened to the public in 2015 after its restoration.
