This is the Casa Batllo designed and built by Gaudi. It is so cool at night. We went to the magic fountains and when we popped out of the metro station, we were here! We came back to see the inside a couple of days later.
This building looks like something out of 20,000 leagues under the sea. Could this be were the movie makers got their inspiration? The balconies are so dramatic.
It is hard to see in the photo, but it is very colorful on the facade of the building between the balconies.
This was the living room on the first floor.
Another picture of the living room. Check out that light fixture!
This is the inner courtyard of the building. It went all the way up and was open to the sky. This let light in throughout the building and rooms.
It was tiled in beautiful blue and white. It was lighter at the bottom and got darker towards the top.
Inside passage ways. They reminded me of being in a submarine.
No comment needed!
On the roof were these beautiful mosaic chimneys.
This cross was on the roof near the front of the building. So beautiful.
The front of the building had this spine that went all the way across it.
In the backyard terrace. A lot of mosaic designs.
Need I say more?

Gaudi is an amazing architech, isn't he? I am still in awe after seeing the Sagrada Familia Church last year. Be careful with your valuable possessions especially at the Ramblas. That's where hubby got pickpocketed even though he kept his wallet in the front pocket. Enjoy the rest of the tour...Christine
That is one cool and trippy apartment building. It's so great you were able to tour the inside. I love the cross. The girls goofing around always makes me laugh.
Wow, all such beautiful pictures again. Gaudi designed all such special buildings.Enjoy the rest of your holidays.
The buildings are amazing there. Thanks so much for sharing your trip.. what's next??
That's a fantastic series. I have to go inside and take some pics for the blog. The last one is funny.
