Casa Batlló, Art Nouveau residence in Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona, Spain
The building features organic shapes with curved stone walls, multicolored glass mosaics, and ceramic tiles that change from orange to blue tones on the facade.
Textile industrialist Josep Batlló purchased the classical building in 1903 and commissioned Antoni Gaudí to transform it between 1904 and 1906.
The structure incorporates natural forms throughout its design, with a roof resembling a dragon's back and columns shaped like bones along the windows.
The noble floor functions as a museum space spanning 700 square meters, while the building maintains regular visiting hours from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily.
The central facade contains rippling stone elements and balconies made from cast iron, creating an appearance that resembles an underwater landscape.
