The visit will allow you to discover the secrets of the Casa Batlló, its architecture and its innovative constructions designed by Antoni Gaudí. This work is the very essence of Gaudí’s genius.

Commissioned by an industrialist

The renovation of the Casa Batlló began in 1904, like a fairytale building. It was commissioned by the very wealthy Josep Batlló i Casanovas, a textile industrialist who had just acquired the building in 1877.

At the time, it was customary to show off one’s family fortune by having the most beautiful façade. Josep Batlló entrusted the transformation of his building to Gaudí in order to re-invent the work.

Gaudí imagined an unparalleled, creative, conceptual and innovative design without having to demolish the entire structure. He then devised a project for the reconstruction and remodelling of the building and the internal part. The construction was completed in 1907.

A masterpiece of Modernism

This is how the Casa Batlló came to be a unique and colourful structure with such a singular silhouette. The result is spectacular. Some say the house resembles a sea creature, others the dragon from the Legend of Sant Jordi.

The façade of the Casa Batlló is striking with its ceramic mosaics, blue tiles, shell-shaped windows and fish-fin balconies.

Inventiveness in the details

The architecture of Casa Batlló is an expression of Spanish Art Nouveau, also known as Catalan Modernism. Developed, as its name suggests, in Catalonia, this artistic movement is characterised by the use of organic forms and bright colours. Antoni Gaudí was inspired by nature to create a building that looks alive!
