Probably The Most Colorful Chimneys In The World

It's almost like a children's wonderland once I get inside Casa Batlló....with striking colors and shapes everywhere. Here on the rooftop these unique and colorful chimneys with beautiful mosaic tiles are yet another example of Gaudí’s iconic architectural works.

Casa Batlló is a renowned building located in the center of Barcelona and is one of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces. A remodel of a previously built house, it was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí and has been refurbished several times after that. Like everything Gaudí designed, it is only identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. In 2005 Casa Batlló became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. [Extract from Wikipedia]
