For instance, there is the a \u2018C\u2019 above the entrance of the building, and there are three busts on the fa\u00e7ade of the building representing Saint Peter (the saint of Calvet\u2019s name), Saint Genesius of Arles and Saint Genesius of Rome (the patron saints of Calvet&#8217;s hometown).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/gaudi-vs-dali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gaudi Vs Dali: \u00a0GreatsCatalunya\u2019s<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_restaurant\"><\/span>The restaurant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Casa Calvet<\/strong>\u00a0is home to one of Barcelona\u2019s very best <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/restaurants-friends-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">restaurants<\/a>,<\/strong> which opened its doors in 1994.
