Casa Batllรณ
* ๐ The roof looks like a dragonโs back โ a nod to the legend of Saint George and the dragon.
* ๐ Its unusual faรงade earned it the nickname โHouse of Bonesโ because some features resemble bones and skeletons.
* ๐ Gaudรญ used thousands of colorful pieces of broken ceramic and glass to create the shimmering mosaic.
* ๐ช Even the windows are designed to feel organic and underwater-like, rather than perfectly geometric.
* ๐ข The building has playful details inspired by nature, including shells, plants, animals and sea forms.
* ๐ Gaudรญ didnโt build the house from scratch โ he completely transformed an existing 19th-century building.
* โจ It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the works of Antoni Gaudรญ in 2005.
* ๐ Itโs part of Barcelonaโs famous โBlock of Discordโ (Manzana de la Discordia), where several striking Modernista buildings stand next to each other.
