The visit is really worth the trip, even if the entrance fees are quite expensive. The architecture is fantastic, with sea and water shapes in the house. This is a wonderful demonstration of Gaudi's genius. More

This was once a private home where Gaudi had free reign to design as he liked. The result is an example of this man's genius. The external facade is like nothing else you have ever seen, and inside is just as unique. As you walk through the rooms, imagine living here. More

This was one of my favorite places we saw in Barcelona! I was blown away, partly because I didn't know what to expect so much compared to other sights. The attention to detail, creativity, use of light and space and materials--amazing! I highly recommend going inside. I know someone who didn't like it but he admitted not going inside. What... More

Be sure and get the audio guide for this house so you can really learn about how and why he designed things the way that he did. He was ahead of his time. Wouldn't you like to live here??!! More

The tour was a bit pricey with no discern able discount for children or students but the house was breathtaking. Be sure to listen to all of the audio tour. I bought a book on the Casa in the gift shop and read it cover to cover to learn even more about the house. Gaudi was indeed a genius. More

While the Sagrada Familia is a spectacular monument, Casa Battlo is Gaudi on a personal level. An included audio guide provides a valuable interpretation of this architectural fantasy. Gaudi overlooked no detail from doorways to doorknobs, stairways to halls, windows to light fixtures. Each is reinterpreted to create a new organic modern style based on nature; one that is fantastical,... More

Even though I had read about this house and seen many photos I was not prepared for the brilliance of Gaudi’s creation. Although this was created over 100 years ago it still outstrips anything created since. More
