This past week I visited Casa Batalo on Passeig de Gracia.  It is probably one of the coolest houses I have ever been in and i cannot imagine living there.  It is truly a Gaudi masterpiece and one of a kind.  The architecture is amazing and I really think all the attention to detail was incredible.  The rooftop and back deck were probably my favorite part of the house.  I think that Gaudi was a amazing artist and this is one of his best works! The house has so many cools tiles and i thought that it was amazing how the house has almost no straight lines.  Gaudi is an emblem of Catalan culture and the modernsime movement.  Casa Batalo is an excellent example of the Catalan modernisme style.  This really was a catalan cultural experience.
