The Torre de les Aigüesis only one of the courtyards left in the Eixample district that is still open to visitors - it was a water tower that has now been transformed into a swimming pool where children and adults alike can swim to their heart's content on a sunny day.

Chef-d’œuvre de Gaudi, la Casa Batlló est l’un des bâtiments résidentiels les plus uniques jamais construits dans le style moderniste. Sa façade recouverte d’un arc-en-ciel de tuiles colorées laisse place au hall d’entrée qui évoque un voyage sous-marin, avec des murs formant des vagues, des verrières en forme de tortues et un escalier qui ressemble à la colonne vertébrale d’une créature mythique. En haut, l’étage noble est doté de fenêtres qui s’ouvrent sur le Passeig de Gràcia et sont inondées de lumière naturelle, tandis que le patio extérieur connecté est un kaléidoscope de teintes forgées dans le verre et le carrelage. Depuis la terrasse, il est facile de comprendre pourquoi cette maison est surnommé « maison du dragon », car les tuiles du toit ressemblent au dragon de Sant Jordi. Merveilleuse expression de créativité et d’expertise architecturale, la Casa Batlló reflète le génie psychédélique de Gaudi.
