[SPAIN] Barcelona - My Visit to Casa Batllo



Casa Batlló is one of Antoni Gaudi's famous works in Barcelona, redesigned by him in 1904. This distinctive building on the Passeig de Gràcia immediately caught my attention with its skeletal and colourful mosaic facade. It was the first place I visited on my second day in Barcelona.
