Casa Batlló is one of the most interesting and fascinating buildings in Barcelona. The work of Antoni Gaudí can be seen in every detail of the building. Shaped like the fearsome dragon's back, Casa Battló's roof is covered with large, shiny scales. It is made up of tiles on double mansards adapted to the organic architecture. On the left the roof is delimited by a tower with a four-armed cross. With a bit of imagination you can spot the lance of Sant Jordi stuck in the monster's back. Behind it are plastically formed ventilation shafts and chimneys, which are reminiscent of the guards of the house. In the window openings you can see pillars imitating the shapes of bones.
