The roof of this original Gaudi's work is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or a dinosaur..A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre,terminating at the top in a turret and cross,represents the sword of Saint George(patron saint of Catalonia),which has plunged into the back of the dragon..Along with two other modernist works ,the Casa Amatler(which you can see beside) and the Casa Léo Morena,the Casa Batllo makes up the "Block of Discord"..hope you'll enjoy!....see also. ..

Adriana, I've never seen before this wonderful kind of architecture. Wonderful story as well (I mean, referring to one of my previous posts, esp. the part of St George in it). Great work! Regards, Cornelius

So many pics and so little time can mean just one thing - it must be - tee time
My oh My thats wonderful! Those colours just leap at you dont they, imagine living where you could see that each day, let alone to live in it. I am so hooked on this architect now, those balconies are great. Beautiful building captured beautifully. Going right into my faves.

Very very new to this, and only have a bog standard fuji 2mb digi camera.
Do people actually live in these places? Talk about having character! Lovely job of bringing this place at least to my attention. I had no idea this existed until your photos. Great job, by the way!

"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso

Gaudi's houses were one of the most beautiful visits I ever do in Barcelona. Thanks Adriana for this new series :-)
