The Casa de les Punxes (Punxes House), also known as Casa Terrades, is a Modernism building in authorship of Josep Puig i Cadafalch (1903-1905).

The project is based on the European Gothic elements and one of the characteristics of the building are its six towers crowned by spire paths in conical form, which is what gives its popular name of spike house.

The construction of the façade is made of brick where stones decorated with floral pictures can be seen. The stands and balconies are also candidly Modernism. The roof is double sided.

It was declared National Historic Monument in1975. In 1980 a complete renovation was achieved. The interior of the house cannot be visited as it is privately owned.
