Casa Batllo is a building restored by Antoni Gaudi. the local name for this building is Casa Dels Ossos (hosue of Bones). The building itself has visceral, skeletal organic quality. Much of the facade is decorated with a mosaic made of broken cramic tiles that starts in shades of golden orange moving into greenish blues.
The roof is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or dinosaur. A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre terminating at the top in a turret and cross, represents the sword of Saint George.
