Rather than for its size, this building is impressive for its organic and colorful look, with a curvy tiled and colorful roof, bone shaped columns and ornaments and irregular windows.<\/p>\n<p>The house was designed by a young Gaud\u00ed at the beginning of the 20th century as one of his first projects. The design was inspired in the legend of\u00a0 St. Jordi (Saint George) slaying the dragon, with a turret stabbing through the scaled roof as a spear.<\/p>\n<div  class=\"tip\">Though breathtaking from the outside, the house is even more interesting from the inside, so even though it&#8217;s a bit expensive, it is well worth to book a tour.

The visit concludes with the splendid Entrance Hall and Main Staircase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This jewel, together with the also beautiful neighboring Casa Amatller is part of the Manzana de la Discordia or District of the Discord, in the <a href=\"https:\/\/resabi.com\/explorer\/barcelona\/passeig-de-gracia\/\">Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia<\/a> high end street.<\/div><a class=\"keep-reading\">Read more<\/a>\n<dl class=\"accordion\"><dt id=\"link-getting-here\" class=\"getting-here\"><a href=\"#\">Getting here<\/a><\/dt>\r\n\t\t\t<dd id=\"getting-here\">\n<p><strong>Bus<\/strong>: L\u00edneas H10, V15, 7, 22 y 24<\/p>\n<p><strong>Metro<\/strong>: <strong>L2<\/strong>, <strong>L3<\/strong>, <strong>L4<\/strong> (Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regional trains<\/strong>: RENFE (Estaci\u00f3 Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia) | FGC (Estaci\u00f3 Proven\u00e7a)<\/p>\n<\/dd><dt id=\"link-venue-info\" class=\"venue-info\"><a href=\"#\">Venue info<\/a><\/dt>\r\n\t\t\t<dd id=\"venue-info\">\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casabatllo.es\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casa Batll\u00f3<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Opening Hours<\/h3>\n<p>Casa Batll\u00f3 has long opening hours, and is open <strong>365 days a year<\/strong>.
