Page "Casa Batlló" Paragraph 9

The roof's arched profile recalls the spine of a dragon with ceramic tiles for scales, and a small triangular window towards the right of the structure simulates the eye.

Legend has it that it was once possible to see the Sagrada Familia through this window, which was being built simultaneously.

The view of the Sagrada Familia is now blocked from this vantage point by newer buildings.

The tiles were given a metallic sheen to simulate the varying scales of the monster, with the color grading from green on the right side, where the head begins, to deep blue and violet in the center, to red and pink on the left side of the building.
