Roof detail
Industrialist Josep Batlló hired Gaudí in 1907 to give his plain building a facelift.
Undulating facade with bone-shaped stone pillars
In the building well: the tiles are lighter and the windows larger near the bottom to allow more light

Gaudí designed a new undulating façade of glass, stone and mosaics, complete with curvy windows and wavy balconies.
Ceiling detail
Sea-evoking ceiling
Window
Fireplace
Like the facade, the interior is finished without a straight line in sight. Every piece of wood, iron and glass was exactly shaped to fit into its thought-out place.
Dragon’s back and chimneys
The roof is an interpretation of St. George and the dragon.
