Casa Batlló (

)
Yet another of Gaudí's stunning Modernista masterpieces, Casa Batlló has astonishing de-
tails. Shimmering blue and green tiles, wildly sculpted balconies and bone-like columns ad-
orn its facade, while the roof undulates like the scaly backside of a dragon. Inside, you
glimpse the artistry that left nothing to chance, from curved and sinuous walls to corridors
of parabolic arches: the brilliant use of organic forms coupled with the masterful use of nat-
ural light and colour showcase Gaudí's talents at the height of his career.
