Monday 5th October - Gaudi's Casa Batllo

There were hundreds of people outside the Casa de Batllo taking photos and another hundred in the queue to get into the building to have a look around.

Gaudi must have been one messed up architect as the buildings that he designed are right out there and the poor builder that had to make the finished article is who I'm sorry for.

This is a renowned building located in the center of Barcelona and is one of Antoni Gaudi's masterpieces. A remodel of a previously built house, it was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudi and has been refurbished several times after that. Gaudi's assistants also contributed to the renovation project. The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral or skeletal organic quality.
