Casa Batlló

The tour begins with an awe-inspiring view of Casa Batlló’s exterior. Located at Passeig de Gràcia, in the heart of Barcelona, it’s known for its unique design. The building immediately captures attention with its curving, skeletal balconies and the ocean-inspired tiles that adorn its surface.

Casa Batlló was designed by Antoni Gaudí for the wealthy textile magnate Josep Batlló in 1904. Batlló sought to create a unique and visually striking residence, which led him to hire Gaudí for a complete renovation of an existing building. Gaudí's design was inspired by nature, incorporating flowing, organic shapes, colorful mosaics, and a distinctive skeletal appearance, earning the building the nickname "House of Bones." The result was a masterpiece of Modernisme, a style that blends art and architecture. Though originally a private residence, Casa Batlló later became a symbol of Catalan creativity and innovation, now serving as a popular landmark and museum.

The Gaudí Cube

This immersive experience is designed to give you a deeper understanding of Gaudí’s creative process. This unique part of the tour offers an innovative, multimedia presentation that brings to life the genius of Gaudí’s architecture. Through light and sound, you’ll explore the foundations of his design, gaining insight into how he transformed natural shapes and forms into the iconic structures we see today.

The noble floor

This floor was once the private residence of the Batlló family, and here you’ll get a glimpse of how they lived within this unique space. As your guide shares details about the family’s lifestyle and their connection to the house, you’ll learn how the space was both a functional home and a work of art.

The roof terrace and main floor

The roof terrace of Casa Batlló is a fitting final stop on your guided tour, offering one of Gaudí’s most iconic features. With its dragon-scale-like tiles, the roof symbolizes strength and protection in Catalan culture. From this vantage point, you'll not only take in panoramic views of Barcelona but also learn about the deeper meaning behind the design.

As you move inside to the Main Floor, the tour culminates in Gaudí’s masterful use of curving walls and natural light. The intricate stained-glass windows and sculptural elements draw inspiration from nature, and your guide will highlight how these details embody Gaudí’s vision of blending architecture with the natural world. This last stop offers a final opportunity to appreciate the creativity and beauty that makes Casa Batlló one of Barcelona's most extraordinary landmarks.
