Old Pontificial University. Doors of Virtues
The location chosen for this magnificent work was not by chance, since it was the Marquis himself who decided to place it facing his Palace of Sobrellano. On-site construction was directed by the master Cristóbal Cascante y Colom. In 1889, Martorell personally recommended the architect Lluís Doménech i Montaner, to whom is owed the ornamental embellishment of the building. Other Catalonian artists took part, such as the painter Eduard Llorens Masdeu and the Masriera & Campins foundry (Bronze Doors of Virtues).
