"One of the strangest residential buildings in Europe, this is Gaudí at his hallucinogenic best." Full review
Lonely Planet "An apartment building by Vilaseca is Casa Enric Batlló , completed in 1896 and part of the Comtes de Barcelona hotel." Full review
Fodor's "Gaudí at his most spectacular, the Casa Batlló is actually a makeover: it was originally built in 1877 by Emili Sala Cortés, one of Gaudí's teachers, and acquired by the Batlló family in 1900." Full review

Atlas Obscura "One of Antoni Gaudí's most classic buildings is well-known for its "dragon-back" design. " Full review
The Telegraph "The building itself is an apartment block, dramatically remodelled by Gaudí in the early 1900s, and now mostly open to the public, who can finally appreciate his swirling interiors and woodwork. " Full review
Time Out "The chance to explore the interior...offers the best opportunity of understanding how Gaudí, sometimes considered the lord of the bombastic and overblown, was really the master of tiny details." Full review
