Barcelona | Casa Batlló

Casa Batlló was built in 1877 and is one of Gaudí's most completed works in the Art Nouveau naturalistic style. This apartment is located in Barcelona, Spain, and has 6 floors. Gaudí once said, 'Art must originate from nature, for nature has already created the most unique and beautiful forms for us.' He believed that there are no straight lines in nature; straight lines belong to humans, while curves belong to God. It is recommended to take an audio guide upon entering, otherwise, it would be quite boring not to understand the story of the designer. Listening to the audio guide, you can feel that every inch of the building is full of vitality. The most distinctive feature of Gaudí's architecture is his rooftops. The roof of Casa Batlló is shaped like a dragon's spine. Although the dragon's head and tail are not visible, the dragon's scales, spine, and bones are clearly distinguishable. If you stand on the roof, you can see the dragon scales made of glazed ceramic tiles by Gaudí. The three masterpieces of Gaudí in Spain are completely unique, and each one is worth visiting and admiring.
