Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, who built Sagrada Família, Park Guell, Casa Mila, etc., designed this attraction more than 110 years ago.

What to expect
Casa Batlló, one of Gaudí’s many modernist masterpieces, was once the property of Josep Batlló.
Its architecture is truly unique, as no other residential building in the world remotely resembles it.
From its undulating façade that mimics the surface of water to its roof terrace crowned with a dragon-like structure inspired by the legend of Saint George, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is bound to leave you in awe.
Every detail—from the Noble Hall and entrance hall to the patio of lights, indoor garden, loft, and roof terrace—reflects Gaudí’s unparalleled genius.
The phrase ‘you are beautiful from the inside out’ perfectly applies to Casa Batlló.
After designing the façade, Gaudí infused his artistic soul into this masterpiece. Let’s take a sneak peek at the interior.
Entrance Hall
The main entrance is divided into two sections—one for the rented apartments and another for the Batlló family.
The entrance hall leading to the Batlló family’s private lounge evokes an underwater experience.
The walls feature curved vaults with skylights resembling turtle shells.
The wooden staircase railing leading to Mr. Batlló’s study resembles animal vertebrae.
Noble Floor
The Noble Floor is the residential area of the Batlló family and the most creatively designed space.
It has three interconnected sections—Mr. Batlló’s study, the living room, and a secluded area for courting couples.
Living Room
In the morning, Casa Batlló’s living room is illuminated by sunlight streaming in through huge tinted windows.
The size of these windows varies, with larger panes at the top and smaller ones at the bottom to maximize sunlight penetration.
The ceiling spirals downward like a whirlpool.
The central chandelier evokes the sensation of staring into the eye of the sea.
Courting Area
Tucked away within Casa Batlló, the courting room is a secluded retreat designed to foster sweet conversations.
Antoni Gaudí masterfully crafted this space, allowing them to escape into their own world within the grandeur of the mansion.
At the heart of the room lies its most distinctive feature—a mushroom-shaped fireplace that resembles a cozy alcove, almost like a protective shell embracing those who sit within it.
Patio of Lights
Gaudí wanted light and air to travel to all the rooms through the main skylight.
It is interesting to note the shades of blue that Gaudí used in this section.
To ensure uniform light distribution, he used darker shades of blue at the top, which gradually lightened toward the bottom.
The Loft
Casa Batlló’s loft functioned as a service area for the tenants.
Gaudí used white for this section, which housed storage areas and laundry rooms.
The sixty catenary arches resemble the ribcage of an animal.
Indoor Garden
Antoni Gaudí, a true admirer of nature, designed the Batlló family’s private garden as a tranquil retreat, allowing them to unwind in a serene, natural setting.
Seamlessly connected to their dining hall, this charming outdoor space is adorned with glass-coated flower pots, adding a touch of elegance while reflecting Gaudí’s signature organic aesthetic.
Casa Batllo’s roof
Initially built in 1877, Casa Batlló didn’t always have the exciting roof it currently has.
However, everything changed when local textile merchant Josep Batlló commissioned Antoni Gaudí to redesign his house in 1904.
Gaudí divided the building into apartments, added the fifth floor, revamped the interiors, introduced a new façade, and redesigned the roof.
The Catalan architect placed great emphasis on the roof, believing that roofs gave buildings their personalities.
Casa Batlló’s roof has four elements: the dragon’s back, the tower and cross, the four stacks of chimneys, and the terrace.
Roof in the shape of Dragon’s back
It is hard to miss that Casa Batlló’s roof is shaped like a dragon’s back. And on the dragon’s back, its spine distinctly stands out.
A small triangular window toward the right of the building represents the dragon’s eye.
Legend has it that before modern buildings obstructed the view, the Sagrada Família could be seen from this eye.
The panoramic roof consists of 600 large tiles, which resemble scales. These ceramic scales vary in color.
Near the eye, where the dragon’s body begins, the tiles are green.
They turn blue and violet in the center and pink and red toward the tail area of the dragon.
Keep this color scheme in mind, as we will discuss it again later.
The tower and Cross
A cross with four arms pointing north, south, east, and west rises from the roof’s third element, a tower.
This tower and cross seem to be inspired by nature and resemble plant life.
Golden monograms of Jesus, Maria, and Joseph decorate the tower.
If you stand in front of Casa Batlló and look up, you can’t miss Gaudí’s religious references.
Chimneys
The beauty of Gaudí’s architectural ideas lay in how he combined utility and design.
He believed that functionality did not have to come at the expense of aesthetics.
The beautiful chimneys on Casa Batlló’s roof are proof of Gaudí’s philosophy.
The roof also has four stylized and polychromatic chimney stacks. Gaudí designed them to prevent backdrafts.
Gaudí’s chimneys are so famous that they serve as a backdrop for regular live music concerts on the roof.
Casa Batllo terrace
The terrace is an open space offering great views of the Passeig de Gracia.
You will also find the entrance to a small room on the terrace, which now hosts a small water fountain.
When the Batllo family lived in this house, they used the room to store water.
