Els Quatre Gats

Els Quatre Gats (Catalan for 'The Four Cats'; pronounced [əls ˈkwatɾə ˈɣats]) is a café in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that famously became a popular meeting place for renowned artists throughout the modernist period in Catalonia, known as Modernisme. The café opened on 12 June 1897 in the celebrated Casa Martí, and served as a hostel, bar and cabaret until it eventually became a central meeting point for Barcelona's most prominent modernist figures, such as Pablo Picasso, Ramon Casas i Carbó, and Antoni Gaudi i Cornet. The bar closed due to financial difficulties in June 1903, but was reopened and eventually restored to its original condition in 1989.
