Barcelona | Come to visit Cass Batllo and understand sea world

Casa Batlló Passeig de Gràcia, 43, 08007 Barcelona, Spain This architecturally unique building designed by Gaudí is a classic in architectural design history and a representative of Catalan Modernism. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside, the rooms are filled with elements inspired by nature. The flowing water wave patterns created by the unique glass shapes give a sense of movement. As you ascend through the building, the color of the tiles darkens from light blue to deep blue, creating a stunning visual effect. The doors and windows on each level are playful and whimsical, featuring a variety of charming font styles. From the exterior, Casa Batlló showcases wavy curves in its doors, windows, and rooftop, with smooth lines that lack harsh angles. The façade is adorned with blue-toned Spanish tiles, complemented by columns resembling fish bones, encapsulating Gaudí's fascination with the sea in this architectural masterpiece. #100waysoftravel #barcelona

Casa Batlló

I want to tell you about a place that alone has been able to excite me more than anything in the Spanish city: Casa Batllò. Even today, 4 years later, when I think back to that day of warm sunshine and the first time I came into contact with an architecture by Antoni Gaudi, I am moved. Legend has it that centuries ago in Montblanc (Terragona) a fierce dragon was raging on the inhabitants of the city. The latter desperate from the continuous destruction, appeased his anger, sacrificing one person a day and "giving it to him for a meal". The time came to sacrifice the princess too, but the brave Saint George ran to his aid and pierced the dragon with his sword and an incredible rose garden was born from the blood that flowed. Since that day, this popular legend is celebrated every year on April 23: the day of San Jordi. Perfect time to visit the house as it is set up with thousands of red roses to represent the spilled blood. The house is open every day of the year from 9 to 21 (last access at 20) at 43 in Paseo de Gracia. The basic ticket costs 25 euros and includes an augmented reality audio guide. A monitor connected to your device will allow you to admire what Gaudì had done in terms of furniture. An idea of ​​what the house was like when the Batllò family resided here and the site had not yet been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In December we did not find a queue but in any case tickets can be purchased online. #barcelona #awesomepic #historicallandmarks #unforgettableexperiences #spain #europe #casabattlo
