The castle of the Three Dragons is the popular name given to the modernist building in Barcelona built in 1887-1888 as a café-restaurant for the 1888 Universal Exposition by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. This name was probably adopted from Serafí Pitarra's 1865 cat of the same name. It is located at the end of the main promenade, currently called Passeig de Lluís Companys, which ran from the Arc de Triomf to the Ciutadella park. It is a building included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia.

The name and shape takes me back to the Harry Potter novels.
