Brand Overview
Casa Batlló is one of the most outstanding examples of modernist architecture built by a famous architect Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona, Spain on the Passeig de Gràcia. When it comes to its playful, fairy-tale like architecture which is characterized by mosaic façade of bright ceramic tiles, organic curves and intricate, imaginative ornamentation, this building of which construction was completed in 1906, is quite unique.
Casa Batlló is also known as the ‘House of Bones,’ due to the skeletal appearance of the building; the balconies are bright and are in the shape of masks and the roof resembles that of a dragon.
Thus, the author reveals that Gaudí was able to combine ornamental and practical elements in the building and turn the structure into a work of art through the application of colour, light and space. Casa Batlló is a UNESCO world heritage site that always leaves the tourists mesmerized with its unique aesthetic and historical significance.
