Casa Batlló TicketsĪll of Gaudí exhibits in Barcelona are very busy to the point of being oversubscribed and tickets should be bought in advance. The attic was designed as working space for the servants and has large catenary curved arches as well as slats in the roof that allow airflow for drying laundry. This is to ensure the light is reflected evenly down the atrium. Noteworthy is the interior atrium and light well that is tiled in shades of blue tiles starting at darkest tiles at the top and transitioning down to lightest blue at the bottom. To the rear of casa Batlló, accessed from the main floor is a large patio that Gaudí lavishly decorated with wrought iron railings and trencadís colourful tiling covering the natural curves of the walls. There is one luxury flat per floor of the building all of which are privately owned except for the second floor which is the Nobel floor and is the main floor of the Casa Batlló museum. ❮ ❯ Visiting Casa Batlló UNESCO Art Nouveau Gaudí House

On the inside of the attic the white arches are said to represent the ribs of the dragon. Also the roof represents the dragons back with scales. It is said that the turret seen from the front of the building is representative of the lance used by Sant Jordi to kill the dragon. Brightly coloured tiles including trencadís pattern (broken colourful tile pieces arranged in a mosaic).Īnother common theme is Saint George (Sant Jordi) the patron saint of Catalunya so dragons feature heavily in Gaudí's works. Typical techniques used are irregular window shapes, curved walls, façade, and ceilings based on shapes seen in nature. Gaudí was commissioned to remodel it.Ĭasa Batlló is built in the style of Catalan Modernism or Art Nouveau. The house was actually built in 1877 by architect Emilio Sala Cortés and the house was aquired by the textile industrialist Josep Batlló in 1903. He was assisted by Domènec Sugrañes i Gras, José Canaleta Cuadras, Juan de la Cruz Rubió y Bellver and Jaume Bayó. Gaudí did not build the house but directed the extensive remodelling of it from 1904 to 1906.
At least that is one theory.Ĭasa Batlló was awarded UNESCO world heritage status in 2005. Gaudí's theme when designing this house was colours and shapes found in marine life with the colours of the façade taking inspiration from natural coral. The skulls are the balconies and the bones are spindle supporting pillars. The façade of Casa Batlló locally has the nickname casa de ossos, House of Bones, because, from a certain angle, it looks like it has been made from skulls and bones. The other Gaudí house in Passeig de Grácia is La Pedrera/Casa Milá.
