The new 1 € of ours country



Hi!!


We think Casa Batlló are the best monument to a coin, because is a one of the most important and original building of Catalonia.



Casa Batlló is a building restored by Antoni Gaudí and Josep Maria Jujol, built in the year 1877 and remodelled in the years 1905–1907; located at Passeig de Gràcia part of the Illa de la Discòrdia in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia.


Much of the façade is decorated with a mosaic made of broken ceramic tiles that starts in shades of golden orange moving into greenish blues. The roof is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or dinosaur. A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre, terminating at the top in a turret and cross, represents the sword of Saint George which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.





Bye!
