What to see and do
Casa Batlló offers a rich exploration of Gaudí’s creative genius:
The Noble Floor
Step inside the Noble Floor, where the Batlló family once lived. This 700-square-meter space is a masterpiece of design, featuring stained glass windows, carved ceilings, and custom Art Nouveau furnishings that make it one of the most beautiful interiors in Barcelona.
The Rooftop
Casa Batlló’s rooftop is a true marvel, inspired by the legend of Saint George. The dragon’s back is represented by the building’s curved, multi-colored tiled roof, while the tower symbolizes the spear used to slay the dragon.
The Loft
Originally a service area, the loft now features 60 white catenary arches that resemble the ribcage of an animal—likely the dragon atop the building. This space is both functional and beautiful, showcasing Gaudí’s ability to blend form and function.
Did you know: (Three interesting facts!)
- Casa Batlló wasn’t built by Gaudí. It was originally constructed in 1877 as a typical apartment building. Gaudí transformed it in 1904 into the masterpiece we see today.
- The building’s central well features blue tiles that are darker at the top and lighter at the bottom, ensuring even light distribution throughout the building.
- Its nickname is the “House of Bones,” due to its many skeletal-like elements: the banister of the main staircase resembles a spine, the arches in the loft evoke ribs, and the ironwork on the front balconies suggests skulls.
