another gaudi house in barcelona
A visit to Gaudi's Casa Batllo - with luck, I capture one of my classmates ascending his organic staircase. To me, Barcelona is inseparable from Gaudi's architectural creations.

Antoni Gaudì built this six-storey house in Barcelona between 1905 and 1907, creating a standing masterpiece of Modernism.
Entering the building takes the visitor in the inside of a living body, made of stone but capable to pass the strong impression of breathing, infused with a special kind of life.
Gaudi's famous park - trees and modernist architecture in the centre of Barcelona. Get there climbing the escalators from Metro Vallcarca (Green Line) and take your time.
This picture shows an unusual angle on La Pedrera, or Casa Mila, in Barcelona. The building was designed by the city's most famous architect Antoni Gaudi and built between 1906 and 1910.

La Pedrera was created by famed Spanish architect, GAUDI, and is now one of Barcelona's most famous landmarks.

In Barcelona, as in the rest of Spain, there are Catholic cathedrals, monasteries and churches on nearly every block. Many of them have unassuming entrances that lead into lush and peaceful inner courtyards.
