Barcelona’s Liquid Jewel: Casa Batlló

Barcelona dances to Gaudí’s rhythm—nowhere more so than at Casa Batlló where architecture melts like candle wax. This Modernist masterpiece on Passeig de Gràcia isn’t just a building; it’s a fever dream of tile, light, and bone-like balconies.

🌀 Dragon Skin Facade. Shattered ceramics shimmer like a mythical beast’s scales (look for the legend of Saint George).
💧 Fluid Interiors. Wavy wood, sea-glass windows—even doorknobs fit perfectly in your palm (Gaudí designed everything).
🌌 Digital Dreams. The new immersive basement since 2023 swirls Gaudí’s sketches into moving constellations.

Smart Visit: 8:30am slots = empty photo ops.

Gaudí didn’t design houses—he bottled magic. Casa Batlló is the proof. I would be happily live here even in the modern day.
