  Casa Batllo

  After visiting La Pedrera (Casa Milà), we’ll head just a few blocks down the elegant Passeig de Gràcia to visit Casa Batlló, another of Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces. Famous for its colorful, mosaic-covered façade and fantastical design, Casa Batlló is often referred to as the “House of Bones” due to its skeletal-looking balconies and organic shapes. Your guide will explain how Gaudí transformed an ordinary building into a symbol of creativity and modernism, inspired by nature and Catalan legends—most notably the tale of Saint George and the dragon, which is reflected in the dragon-like roof.
