Casa
Batllo

Architect
by Antonio
Gaudi on 1905-07. Apartment building concrete of Expressionist or Art Nouveau style.Mighty pillars that appear to resemble the feet of some giant elephant are the
first thing to meet the eye of the passerby from street level.The roof reminds
him of a completely different animal: it is bordered by a jagged line similar to
the backbone of a gigantic dinosaur.A facade extends between the two, including
a number of small, elegantly curved balconies that seem to stick to the front of
the house like birds' nests on the face of the cliff.The facade itself glitters
in numerous colours, and small round plates that look like fish scales are let
into it. Photo by Byunggu Yu on 1992 & Changyong Shin on 2004.

Mila is practically opposite Casa Batlló, meaning that the tremendous difference

sinuous wrought iron balustrades in the facade of this edifice, which is
popularly called 'La Pedrera-The Quarry'.Jujol completed, in accordance with
