What to see at Casa Batlló ?
The visit of La Casa Batlló: The Facade.
Faithful to his usual technique, Gaudí carries out very few plans and relies mainly on plaster models, which he shapes until obtaining the sinuous forms that he desires. The Casa Batllo is known in Barcelona as the Casa dels ossos (House of the Bones), owing its name to its very original architecture: the balconies resemble fragments of skull with openings for eyes and nose. The columns of the first-floor grandstand have the shape of human bones (tibia) and many other details of the facade makes us think of a skeleton.
▼ Show moreAnother possible interpretation is that the balconies resemble Venetian masks. The facade, undulating and composed of a mosaic of glass and ceramic, gives under the effect of the sun, the impression of being in motion and waving like waves. The columns at the bottom of the building recall tree trunks. This gives the house a much more magical and fairy look.
Finally the roof, terrace that we can visit today, reminds the arched back of a dragon. The ceramic tiles that cover it look like scales. Inside there is a wooden staircase that recalls strangely a vertebral column, which could belong to the supposed mythical dragon.
Another symbol is a tower surmounted by a "Gaudian" cross with four branches oriented at the four cardinal points.
Visit : Casa Batllo inside
As for the façade, Gaudi is inspired by the marine environment to decorate the interior of this house: the vestibule and the patios are dominated by the navy blue and the ocher of the rocks. The walls are undulating like waves and decorated with fish scales. The stained-glass windows represent water bubbles.
The entry hall
This magnificent entrance evokes an underwater grotto with dormers in the form of tortoises, arched walls and its staircase has the shapes of animals from the depths.
The Noble Floor
It was home to the Batllo family. Now empty of furniture, it is captivating by the beauty of its undulating ceiling - another reference to the strength of the sea - and by its large glass roof which overlooks the Paseo de Gracia.
The patio
This huge backyard of 230 square meters was directly connected to the dining room of the noble floor. The trencadis, always used by Gaudi, allows him to give free rein to his creative imagination: these mosaics based on ceramic bursts and glass, decorate the whole space with blue, green and red reflections. Definitely it is the most beautiful modernist patio in Barcelona.
The attic
It was used as launderette and storage for the tenants of Casa Batllo. But what a granary! It feels like being in the dragon's belly with the succession of ribbed bows... If the light is sifted, the beast may not be far away indeed... Just above on the roof terrace..
The Terrace Roof
It is without a doubt the signature of the brilliant architect for the Casa Batlló: the largest polychrome sculpture of the building. Gaudí draws the spine of the animal using tiles giving it the appearance of a tortoise shell with a sharp gradation going from orange to white. The picnic-shaped fireplaces are grouped like mushrooms. Their curvatures and their colors will be found at the Palau Güell and the nearby Casa Milà.
La Casa Batllo was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1964 as "Works of Antoni Gaudí" in conjunction with the Güell Park, the Güell Colonnade, the Güell Palace, the Casa Vicens, the Nativity Facade and The crypt of the Sagrada Família and the Casa Milà.
The Patrons: The Batlló Family
In the midst of an industrial revolution, Barcelona is totally transformed. Entrepreneurs are getting rich with the newest chemical, metallurgical, electrical and automotive industries. They rivaled audacity, wanting to leave their marks in the city. Josep Batlló i Casanovas made a fortune in the textile industry. To differentiate himself from his family, who built magnificent modernist but more traditional buildings, he appealed to the star of the time: Antoni Gaudí. The latter had already taken over the project of La Sagrada Família since 1884, also worked on the Parc Güell (1900-1914) and had finished La Casa Calvet en 1900, the Gibert pharmacy,the decoration of the Bar Torino en 1902.
Josep Batlló that had already bought a building, orders Gaudi to destroy it and to let his imagination run free to make it his masterpiece. Technical prowess for the time, the architect will content himself with remodeling the building without destroying it.

-
Why do I have to specify a date when buying a ticket?
When you are asked to specify the date of your visit, it is because the monument or service you have chosen to visit also requests it. Most of the time, this date allows tourist sites to limit the number of visitors and therefore to make the visits more fluid. Please note that if you are not asked to specify the time of your visit, this means that you can arrive at any time to visit the site - while respecting the visiting hours of the site in question.
-
Why do I have to specify a date and time when purchasing a ticket?

With a ticket - date and time requested - do I have to arrive at the exact time or can I be a little late for my visit?
On the ticket that you will receive by email after your purchase, it is normally specified how much time - in addition to the scheduled time - you are granted in order not to lose your visit. Please note, for example, that a visit to Park Güell entitles you to entry 30 minutes after the stated time. The Sagrada Familia ticket indicates a time slot of 15 minutes. It is therefore important to respect this time slot. If the ticket does not specify a time slot, then the timetable must be respected.
