Best Casa Batllo Day Trips & Things to Do

This architectural treasure on Passeig de Gràcia designed by Barcelona’s favorite son is his most emblematic work. Antoni Gaudi’s iconic Casa Batllo, built between 1904-06, has irregular oval windows, flowing sculpted stone work, a façade adorned with a colorful mosaic of broken ceramic tiles and an arched roof that looks like the back of a dragon with iridescent scales. The house’s interior, which visitors can tour, is just as fascinating as its exterior, as Gaudi here also avoided using straight lines.
