Casa Batlló is a building designed by the architect Antoni Gaudí, the highest representative of Catalan modernism. It is a comprehensive remodeling of a building previously existing on the site, the work of Emilio Sala Cortés. It is located at number 43 of the Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona, the wide avenue that crosses the Ensanche district (Eixample), in the so-called Apple of Discord, because it houses in addition to this building other works by modernist architects: the Casa Amatller, adjacent to that of Gaudí, the work of Josep Puig i Cadafalch; the Casa Lleó Morera, the work of Lluís Domènech i Montaner; the Casa Mulleras, by Enric Sagnier; and the Casa Josefina Bonet, by Marceliano Coquillat. The construction took place between 1904 and 1906.
