Casa Batlló by Antoni
Gaudi -Barcelona Photo Guide
Casa Batlló is often overlooked by many people because it's on
the same road as La Pedrera (also by Gaudí ) and the latter
of the two buildings draws more attention. I personally don't know
why as Casa Batlló is a stunning creation and every bit as
awe inspiring as La Pedrera.
Casa Batlló was designed by Gaudí for a wealthy Barcelona
Aristocrat. The lower levels were for the owner and the upper floors
for renting. The "house" is now a museum and I highly
recommend visiting this building. My brother and I visited Casa
Batllo for an afternoon and spent the rest of the evening discussing
why Gaudí had placed two ornamental pillars in the entrance
to the terrace. Gaudí' s work activates your imagination
and challenges you to ask questions, so be prepared to be thinking
about what he was trying to achieve well after you've left his creations!
