Curvy balconies, asymmetrical columns, sinuous chimneys, and façade scales reminiscent of a dragon made me feel like I’d mistakenly happened into Gaudi’s dream, Casa Batlló - Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona's LA SAGRADA FAMILIA CHURCH was designed by famed Barcelona architect, GAUDI, and although it was begun a century ago, it is still under construction.
Sagrada Familia, Barcelona
Casa Milà, or La Pedrera, is another Antoni Gaudi masterpiece. Nothing is in a straight line on this 1906 built building (yes 1906!)...
Gaudi's imaginative artistic approach to architecture is reflected in his buildings at Parc Guell's entrance... Barcelona's pretty skyline reaching to the Mediterranean Sea acts as the perfect backdrop.
Here is a sight of the inside of Casa Milà, the inside of the flat open to the public.
A beautiful example of art.
Getting inside la Pedrera is already a breathtaking experience in itself. Looking at the sky from its courtyard makes your head spin with shocking beauty and perspective.
Looking upwards in La Sagrada Familia... construction goes skywards.
Casa Batllo as dusk.... a stunning Gaudi architectural wonder from the early 20th century.
