A major tourist attraction in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudi cen be viewed on the Passeig de Gracia, Casa Batll features balconies shaped into bones and skulls said to be the bodies devoured by a dragon who perches on the roof of the building looking down at the tourists, and was eventually killed by the sword of St. George. The attention to detail continues inside, from the sturdy wooden frames to the colourful mosaic tiles and it's impressive how Gaudi has given every single detail a lot of thought.
An installation that Gaudi himself would admire is the famous modern architect Frank O. Gehry's 'Golden Fish' find it at the entrance to two of the tallest landmarks in the city, the Hotel Arts and the Mapfre Tower at Port Olympica.
