Casa Battlo - Brilliant Barcelona
I think I will let the images do the talking. Check out Casa Mila for a bit more detail about the architect, Anthony Gaudi.
This building is architectural art – it’s like going to a gallery and marvelling at the skill of the artist.
The Battló family had purchased this house on one of Barcellona’s prestige boulevards and had Gaudi remodel it to create something that stood out as being audacious and creative.
There are not too many straight lines in the design and maybe that’s the secret that sets this building apart.
