Casa de les Punxes, or Casa Terradas, in Barcelona was designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch for Bartomeu Terradas Brutau, who commissioned houses for his three sisters, Àngela, Josefa and Rosa. The text says the commission came in late 1903, and a sculpted angel is dated 1905, the infobox start.
The style is Modernisme with a medieval, castle-like character and Northern European influences. It uses stone, wrought iron and stained glass, with cast-iron columns and steel straps supporting the structure and ceramic walls forming the round ends. Six pointed towers give it its name, and the roof covers over 6,500 square feet (600 m²). Enric Monserdà made ceramic panels and reliefs.
Heritage dates conflict, with January 9, 1976 in the infobox and 1975 and 1976 in the text. Restoration ran from 1991 to 2003. The building is privately owned and used as offices, and it has been visitable since July 2016.
