This is one of the architect Gaudi's best-known works and is emblematic of Barcelona.. It was built between 1906 and 1912 and consists of a succesion of stone walls on the outside.Everything in this building is curved and undulated..Its originality and the techniques used in its construction are surprising throughout..Meanwhile,the interior has two painted courtyards,columns and a range of rooms..The undulating façade opens up with large windows and iron balconies..On the roof,meanwhile, there are chimneys,sculptures worthy of admiration in themselves,from where there is a splendid view of Passeo de Gràcia street..The building has been declared World Heritage and is the pinnacle of Modernist techniques and tendencies...
