Casa Batlló

A renowned building located in the center of Barcelona, redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí.
The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral, skeletal organic quality.
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 lance of Saint George (patron saint of Catalonia, Gaudí's home), which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.
