Dreams... The Batllo House can buy tickets online, but it actually costs 5 euros to skip the queue. But in fact, because the tickets are so expensive, it is not more than the Sagrada Familia. There are not many people in the queue. It takes a few minutes to arrive, so there is no need to buy tickets in advance. Tickets for the Batllo House also come with free audio guides, and Chinese commentary. And the audio guide here is the third best I have seen (even better than Van Gogh) after the Harry Potter factory in London and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, it is a mobile phone modified to show the room according to gravity after clicking the number corresponding to the room The furniture looks and Gaudi's inspiration comes from where, for example, an oval window just in the door, and if you point the audio guide like a photo, you can see a turtle on the screen that fits the shape of the window leisurely. The Bartholomew House is inspired by Catalan folk tales: the dragon-slaughter of St George to save the princess. This vulgar story has been reinterpreted here in Gaudi. The scales of the roof are the back of the dragon, and the cross-shaped chimney is the sword of the warrior. The crown of the armrest in the corridor is a symbol of the princess. The strange-shaped windows are like the dragon's blood basin, the white window sill is like a mask and tooth decay, the window outside the living room is a pillar of human bone shape, and the white, blue, green, brown spray paint on the outer wall is both like the dragon's blood and reminiscent of Monet's water lily. Another design element of the Bartholomew House is the sea. Whether it is a spiral, starfish-like, droplet-like, fish-like, bubble-like pattern of various furniture from marine life, or the gradient of the entire patio from the ground floor to the rooftop from the white to the blue, or the corrugated glass fence outside the elevator, All visitors to the interior of the Bartholomew House - in the cool sea world. Dali once described the house of Batllo as "I saw the sea, the sea of the tumbling waves, the sea of the waves, the sea of the wind." Sure enough, the art is connected, and Gaudi meets the surreal Dali, The twisting and melting clocks hit the choppy houses, don't comment too much, leave Gaudi to Dali to interpret. Gaudi also exhibits amazing perfectionism at the Bartholomew House, from the size of the window to the size of the house to the house number designed in his unique font, From the careful consideration of the materials used in the corridor to the filtering effect of the colored windows in the room, to the rooftops and attic that are similar to the Mira House but have completely different lighting due to different materials, the Batllo House shines with his passion and humility for nature.

    the experience is great. the building is so old but well kept. it's beautiful not only from outside, but it is worth going inside. I would say, book in advance and rezerve your place, as the ques are long enough to send a couple of hours to get in. also. depending on when you travel, the outside building design is changing, lights, flowers r other motifs.

    Also know as 'House of Dragon', one of Antoni Gaudi's masterpiece in Barcelona. A marine inspired, fascinating and glamorous building.

    the excursion around the house has two parts. the second one- vip - takes you to the small part where they kept the furniture with other pieces to give one the true feeling of that times. anyway, even in the general part enjoy the light, the genuine celebration of Gaudi talent
