A house that invites a closer look
On Passeig de Gràcia, Casa Batlló reveals a different way of thinking about architecture. Gaudí transformed the residence into a place where colour, materials and light shape every room. Explore at your own pace with an audio guide, taking time to notice the details along the way.
From family home to Barcelona landmark
Josep Batlló bought the building in 1903 and commissioned Antoni Gaudí to transform it. Between 1904 and 1906, the architect reinvented a house originally built in 1877. He reorganised the existing spaces and gave them a distinctive identity. The house opened to the public in 1995, and cultural visits began in 2002.
Discover the house, room by room
The Noble Floor and its craftsmanship
The family's former home brings woodwork, stained glass and ceramics together. The main room's sweeping window opens onto Passeig de Gràcia, while its undulating ceiling evokes moving water. Look for the organic shapes in the oak doors and the unusual mushroom-shaped fireplace. These details offer a glimpse of everyday life in modernist Barcelona.
The light well and the attic
The light well's tiles become darker towards the top and lighter below, helping distribute daylight evenly. The windows and ventilation are part of the same thoughtful design. Further along, the attic's white arches reveal another side of Gaudí: a simple, flowing structure with a striking rhythm. The route also includes the staircase and atrium reinterpreted by Kengo Kuma.
A facade full of stories
Before entering, take a moment to look at the rippling stone, fragments of glass and ceramics, and mask-like balconies. The colourful roof has inspired many interpretations, including the dragon from the legend of Saint George. Watch how changing daylight brings out new details on the facade.
