Gaudi's Architecture: Casa Batllo

Casa Batllo was the 2nd building of Antonio Gaudi's that we visited.  Set in the middle of Barcelona's main shopping street, it's unusual design stood out from the rest of the architecture.


The colourful mosaics that decorate the exterior and the unusually shaped windows were what I loved most about this building.



The interior was simple, filled with lots of light, coloured by the stained glass it came through.



The only part that was remotely ornate inside the building were the lamp shades that adorned the ceilings.



And the winding staircase that led to the top of the building.


The multicoloured chimneys on the rooftop were also stunning against the blue background of the sky.


Another beautiful Gaudi building.
