Casa Batllo, Barcelona


Casa Batllo is a masterpiece by Antoni Gaudi located at Passeig de Gracia, in the center of Barcelona, Spain. The building was a remodel of a previously built house and was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudi and has been refurbished several times after that. Casa Batllo evokes the creativity and playfulness of Gaudí’s work through the incrassate facades and creative floors. Its unique interior is just as extraordinary and it seems that the goal of Gaudi was to avoid straight lines completely.  

It was originally designed for a middle-class family. In 2002, it was opened to public as a museum as part of the celebration of the International Year of Gaudi. In 2005, Casa Batllo became a Unesco World Heritage Site.
