Reasons to go

Gaudí was hired in 1904 to remodel an existing building rather than construct a new one, transforming it entirely into his own vision.
The roofline's colorful ceramic scales are widely read as a stylized dragon, referencing the legend of Saint George, Catalonia's patron saint.
Its skeletal-looking balcony railings earned the building the popular nickname 'House of Bones.'

Full description

Rather than building from scratch, Gaudí was hired in 1904 to remodel an already-existing building, reworking the façade and interior so thoroughly that the result reads as entirely his own creation, popularly nicknamed the 'House of Bones' for its skeletal balcony railings. The undulating roofline, covered in colorful ceramic scales, is widely interpreted as a stylized dragon, tying into the legend of Saint George, patron saint of Catalonia.

Inside, an interactive multimedia tour guides visitors through curving corridors, a light-flooded stairwell, and rooms almost entirely free of straight lines. It's a polished, immersive experience that appeals especially to design and architecture enthusiasts willing to pay a premium ticket price.

Reviews

We loved our experience at Casa Batlló!! We were amazed! There was so much to see and do! We could have spent hours there! The Gold experience was the best and so worth it! We would do it again the next time we are here!!!
