About Casa Batlló
The balconies can look like masks or skulls, depending on your frame of reference and the light. Above them, colorful tiles form a scaly back. One interpretation links this design to the dragon of Saint George; the symbolic reading is part of the fun and doesn't demand a single answer.
From the other side of Passeig de Gràcia, you take in the whole ensemble better. Admiring the facade is already a worthwhile stop. If you have to choose between this house and La Pedrera, compare the routes before committing your afternoon.
