Gaudí works are absolutly wonderful and unmistakable. It's allways a pleasure to walk along the Gràcia Promenade enjoying its marvellous Modernist building. One of the most beautiful is the Batlló House, by Antonio Gaudí between 1905 and 1907. Actually this building was erected in 1875 but Gaudí made a radical renovation on it. It's know as "Casa dels ossos" (House of bones) because the first floor columns imitate bones, as well as the balconies fences. The whole façade is covered with broken coloured tiles. The roof is arched like the back of a dragon. There is a cross in a turret at the left representing the sword of St. George defeating the dragon. This building is protected by Unesco from 2005.
Las obras de Gaudí son absolutamente maravillosas e inconfundibles. Siempre es un placer dar una vuelta por el Paseo de Gracia disfrutando de sus edificios modernistas. Uno de los más bonitos es la Casa Batlló, de Antonio Gaudí, construída entre 1905 y 1907. En realidad el edificio se erigió en 1875 pero Gaudí le hizo una radical reforma. Se conoce como "Casa dels ossos" (Casa de los huesos) porque las columnas de la primera planta imitan huesos, así como las barandillas de los balcones. Toda la fachada está cubierta de azulejos rotos de colores. El techo está arqueado como si fuera la espalda de un dragón. Hay una cruz sobre un torreón a la izquierda que representa la espada de San Jorge venciendo al dragón. El edificio está protegido por la UNESCO desde 2005.

Casa Batlló is now a must see in Barcelona,it was open to public just last year and there are a few kind of tickets to see it.One option may be see just the main rooms and in the other you can see the whole house.During all your visit to the house,you can learn everything about this beautiful building by help of an Audioguide that you can get at the entrance and you can choose your own language,this is a good way to learn everything about the nice building.
Picture facade detail at Casa Batlló,to see more pictures of this beautiful house, take a look to my travelogue!. Leave a Comment

This project was commisioned by a wealthy textile producer Joseph Batllo who wanted his old house renovated - this was quite a challenge since the house was one in a row of similar houses with small atrium gardens. It would have been much easier and cheaper to build an entirely new house somewhere else , but the prestigious location was obviously worth the extra effort and problems they had with local authotrities after stepping forward on the public walkway with pillars bearing the facade.
Gaudi worked on site just like on all his projects - he was designing and making alterations and finding new technical solutions during the process of building, with his hands on materials and tools. This caused extra costs, delays and problems with local authorities, but also resulted in some amazing visual and technical solutions .
This house had won me over, it is everything I imagined Captain Nemo's home would look like. The shapes and textures resemble those of underwater creatures, vertebra shaped lower border of the staircase, jellyfish shaped doors, fish heads smiling from balconies, fish scales, skeleton supporting the attic ...

 Another of Gaudís
incredible architectures by Maria_75
It reflects an intense and abstract naturalism. It is decorated with ceramics of brilliant and subtle colors. At the first floor level is a striking stone structure in the form of a loggia (roofed open gallery), and it is supported by columns and frame windows decorated with stained glass.
The ceramics and multi-colored glassmosaics of the upper part are interrupted by ironbalconies in the form of masks. On top of the whole is a tileroof over double garrets which ressembles the back of a fantastic dragon.
On the roof is also a round tower with a floral dome, topped with the four-branched cross which was one of Gaudí's favorite motives. Behind are the colorful sculpted chimneys with their allusions to sturdy guardians. Leave a Comment

 Casa Batlló by JanPeter74
As for the interior, this was the best Gaudí building we visited. Really bizarre but absolutely awesome. When we were there in 2002 it was Gaudí year. Before that it was closed to public. I'm not quite sure if it is open to the public now. Leave a Comment

I never forget the first time I entered this house and went ecstatic! Of all Gaudi's work I personally love this place best.
It dates from 1904 and it's one organic line of detailed architecture which keeps surprising me.
Unfortunately it's not allowed to take pictures inside.
Listed as Unesco World Heritage Site.
