Why Go

Gaudí remodeled the house between 1904 and 1906. Its facade shimmers with broken tile, its roof curves like a dragon's back, and the rooms inside flow without straight lines around a light well tiled in shades of blue.

It stands on the Block of Discord, beside rival houses by two other Modernista architects.
