Textile businessman Josep Batlló hired Antoni Gaudí to remodel his house on Passeig de Gràcia, finished in 1906.
The balconies look like masks, the columns like bones, and the roof like a dragon's back. The Batlló family lived here until the 1950s.
It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and open to visitors.
