Long Description:It is one of Gaudí's best buildings, even though he only redesigned
the old façade, making the building more beautiful and converted
the main floor into a home, taking care to respect the old
building.
Partial view of Antonio Gaudí’s house, modernist style
The interior courtyard is covered in ceramic pieces designed by
Gaudí, which begin in dark blue on the high part, followed by
lighter blues and finally white at the end. The banisters are
worthy of note. There is a terrace on the upper floor and a tower
covered in bits of glass, crowned by a marble coloured cross which
is strangely broken, but Gaudí did not seem to mind this.
