Barcelona: Gaudi


Casa Battlo

Casa Batllo: Window Seen Through Glass

Casa Batllo: roof details


Casa Battlo: Inner Window




La Pedrera


We only had time to visit these two buildings on Passeig de Gracia. Casa Battlo was just across the street from the apartment we rented. It was a private residence and impossible to imagine it was built in 1877, the architecture and design was so modern. La Pedrera, built in 1912 has interesting rooftop touches but parts of the building look like regular apartments. Barcelona is worth a visit, if only to appreciate the singular vision of Antonio Gaudi's architecture.
