Casa Batlló is a unique modernista masterpiece. Located on Barcelona's main boulevard, Passeig de Gràcia, it is one of the most emblematic works by Antoni Gaudí.
Built by Gaudí between 1904 and 1906, Casa Batlló is known locally as the Casa dels Ossos (House of Bones), due to its skeletal design. The building has few straight lines and the facade is covered in trencadis, a local mosaic style made up of colorful broken tiles. The creative use of a range of materials such as wood, glass, iron, ceramics and stone is especially remarkable.
Casa Batlló stands out for its unique design, its repertoire of visual solutions, the creative use of materials, and its allegorical values. It represents the fantastic, the theatrical and the vibrant and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since July 2005.
