Extravagance and beauty, in this incredible work by Gaudì, the result of the genius and creativity of the great Spanish artist. Casa Battlo has always been one of the must-see attractions on holiday in Barcelona.
Completed in 1907, on Passeig de Gracia in the modernist Eixample district, this building represents one of Gaudi’s most original and visionary creations. Since 2005 it has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the other 6 works by the Spanish artist.
A place as beautiful as it is bizarre. As incredible as it is unique … starting from its magical and fairytale front facade, an element that almost immediately attracts the attention of visitors and passers-by. Pure magic especially after dusk, when Casa Battlo is all lit up. Its balconies call attention to strange figures, even human skulls!
The interior is all a whirlwind of waves, curves and spirals that sinuously characterize this work of art. Every corner of the house hides something surprising. Every detail is able to fascinate. But, the key element of the whole building is represented by light. “The sun will penetrate through the four sides and it will be like an image of paradise […] and so my building will be brighter than the light”… this is what Gaudi argued about Casa Battlo. A perfectly successful attempt!
