Casa Batllo, - Barcelona's Modernist Museum

 A building centered in Barcelona is an eye-catching masterpiece by Antoni Gaudi, - one of the best Spanish architect in Spain, is the Casa Battlo.
It was formerly called "House of Bones" due to its visceral, skeletal organic quality. It is exactly located along Passeig de Gracia, in the Eixample district.

Gaudi redesigned it in 1904, then underwent a lot of refurbishments after that, with the help of other assistants of Gaudi.


Most of the facade is decorated with colorful mosaics made of broken ceramic tiles. It has irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone works on the ground floor.

This house was built in 1877 and was brought by Josep Battlo' in 1900. He hired Gauid later to renovate and design the building with "Modernisme/Art Nouveau" architecture.

Its roof is made and designed like a dragon or dinosaur's back in an arched formation.

Inside the house is even more captivating designs of architecture, making it more unique than the other houses beside it.
