Casa Batlló 🏠 A feast for the eyes in architecture 🇪🇸

Casa Batlló is one of the classic masterpieces of Gaudí design, located on Barcelona’s lively Via Gracia. The building is imaginative from the outside to the inside, with its wavy exterior and mosaic tile design, making it a must-visit landmark. No matter whether it is sunny or rainy, it has its own sense of mystery, and the colors inside are mottled and light and shadow change. Walking around you can really feel the ultimate combination of art and architecture. Recommended routes and must-do items It is recommended to visit Gaudí’s characteristic streamlined staircase and corrugated ceiling from the main entrance straight into the first floor to feel how he shapes the space with lines. Then make your way up the spiral staircase to the second floor, and on the way remember to take a closer look at the natural light that shines through the windows, creating a layered interior of color. Remember to look up in the patio part, the blue tiles gradually darken the color with the height, this design can regulate the lighting well. The topmost floor features a rooftop terrace and the iconic “Dragonback” chimney of Casa Batello. On cloudy days, the arc-shaped tiles on the roof add a fairytale color, and you can take extremely beautiful photos from different angles.
