“Another Modernist marvel designed by Gaudí, the Casa Batlló is a former townhouse constructed for the Batlló family in the 19th century. Its unusual appearance rich in curves, natural forms and a quasi reptile-like tile facade have earned it the nickname of Casa del Drac, or House of the Dragon.”

“What i like most about this must-see in Barcelona is the exhibition they have in the underground of the cathedral with the models Gaudí created to build it During the summer is necessary to book it in advance if you want to go in, if not it would be almost impossible to get a ticket for the day”

“Another public building which packs a stylistic punch, the Can Deu Civic Centre is a sumptuous Modernist mansion which was erected in the 19th century. Commissioned by local spirit distiller and merchant Josep Deu i Estacó, the building was briefly occupied by militias during the Spanish Civil War before later coming under ownership of the local council in 1984. As well as organising events, workshops and shows, there is also a café located on the ground floor with a leafy courtyard.”

“Located one block north of Casa Batlló, La Pedrera was the last private residence designed by Gaudí. The building gets its name, which means ‘the stone quarry’, from its rough-looking facade. Its chimney-like structures rising skywards are said to have inspired George Lucas’s design of the stormtrooper helmets used in Star Wars.”
