Visit La Casa Batlló
Casa Batlló is one of the most visited and best valued tourist places by visitors, as well as one of the most important to visit in Barcelona. It is also considered one of the most original buildings in the world. Its construction took place between 1904 and 1906 on behalf of the wealthy Josep Batlló to Gaudí.
The surprising building can be visited with augmented reality video guides included in the entrance and available in 11 languages, discovering truly surprising corners such as the attractive courtyard of lights and the rooftop with its mythical chimneys.
Mr Josep Batlló granted full creative freedom to Antoni Gaudí, putting him in charge of a project that initially entailed demolishing the building. However, thanks to the courage shown by Gaudí, the demolition of the house was ruled out, and it was fully reformed between 1904 and 1906. The architect completely changed the façade, redistributing the internal partitioning, expanding the patio of lights and converting the inside into a true work of art. Besides its artistic value, the building is also extremely functional, much more characteristic of modern times than of the past.
