About Casa Batlló
Casa Batlló is part of the "Works of Antoni Gaudí" UNESCO World Heritage Site listing. The building was originally constructed in 1877 by architect Emilio Sala Cortés, one of Gaudí's former professors.
In 1903 it was purchased by the wealthy textile industrialist Josep Batlló, who commissioned Antoni Gaudí to completely transform the building. Rather than demolishing it, Gaudí redesigned almost every part of the house between 1904 and 1906, creating one of the most imaginative buildings ever constructed.
The Batlló family owned the house until the 1950s. It then changed hands several times and was purchased by the Bernat family in the 1990s, who carefully restored the property and opened it to the public in 1995 and the family still owns it today.
