The story of Casa Batlló

Casa Batlló was remodelled by Antoni Gaudí between 1904 and 1906 for the Batlló family. Locals nicknamed it the "House of Bones" for its skeletal balconies and pillars.

Its wavy façade sparkles with coloured glass and ceramic, and the roof looks like a dragon's back, often linked to the legend of St George. Inside, there are almost no straight lines. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
