Organized by: Forever Barcelona
Immerse yourself in a world of fantasy, light, and color with a private guided tour of Casa Batlló, one of Antoni Gaudí's most fascinating and iconic masterpieces on Passeig de Gràcia. Discover every detail of its organic architecture and symbolism inspired by the sea and the legend of Saint George with an official private guide.
What will we discover on this visit?
A detailed tour of the interior and exterior of this jewel of Catalan Modernism:
- The Façade and the "Block of Discord": We will understand the context of the Passeig de Gràcia at the beginning of the 20th century and the symbolism of the façade (the columns in the shape of bones, the balconies as masks and the roof in the shape of a dragon's place).
- The Main Floor (Noble Floor): A tour of the floor where the Batlló family lived, with its large colored glass windows overlooking the Paseo de Gracia, long undulating ceilings and unique details in wood and wrought iron.
- The Patio de Luces: Admire the gradation of blue tones in the tiles that guarantees a uniform distribution of natural light on all floors of the building.
- The Attic and the Dragon Terrace: Stroll across the rooftop crowned by the four-armed cross and the scaly back of the dragon, enjoying the views over the center of Barcelona.
