Casa Batlló |
In honor of our last day of spring break, Michelle and I decided to be tourist and knock off a place off my “things to-do in Barcelona” list. We went to the beautiful Casa Batlló, also known as “House of Bones”on Passeig de Gràcia. The house was built by the famous architect, Antoni Gaudí in 1877 and was bought by the Batlló family in 1990. Then in 1904, Josep Batlló hired Gaudí to redesign his new home, located in the center of Barcelona. Words cannot explain how amazing this house is, Antoni Gaudí was a genius. For the past 3 months, I’ve walk past Casa Batlló every day on my way to school, admiring it’s beauty from the outside, but to actually go inside and see Gaudí’s work up close and personal? Unbelievable. It was everything I imagined and more. If you ever visit Barcelona, Casa Batlló is a MUST see, you’ll love it.
