You can see the Gaudi's work all over the Barcelona and the city knows how to take advantage of big master's work. Casa Batllo is another masterpiece.

Casa Batllo from the outside. The weather was not perfect and the house doesn't show all its beauty.

The entry hallway. We got a device with headphones instead of a guide to follow the tour.

The main central part of the house is a big atrium.

Atrium provides the even sunlight to the rooms on all levels of the house. Tiles are light blue at the bottom and dark blue at the top and windows are bigger at the bottom and smaller at the top.
Gaudi also designed a unique system of flaps on doors and under windows to maintain the same temperature all over the house through the year.

This was the tile part of the house. Tomorrow I'll show you more.

Have a great weekend, my friends.
