Casa Batlló, a Modernista facade along Passeig de Gràcia in the Eixample neighborhood built in 1877. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, the structure uses natural shapes like tibia and shells and is covered by a mosaic of broken ceramic tiles. The humpback roofline suggests a dragon's back, as Gaudí based the design on the legend of St. Jordi (George) slayin the dragon.
