I have reserved ticket from internet and found that the place is renovating. Many part of the building were behind curtains. If that is the case, they supposed not to sell the ticket with the same price. After that, I went to Casa Mila, which was very good.
I can’t say anything more about Gaudi’s work and prominence in Barcelona that hasn’t already been said. He was a genius of his time and did some extraordinary work - Casa Batlló being one of them. It’s a must see if you’re in Barcelona.
Casa Batlló (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazə βəˈʎːo]) is a building in the center of Barcelona. It was designed by Antoni Gaudí, and is considered one of his masterpieces. A remodel of a previously built house, it was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí and has been refurbished several times after that. Gaudí's assistants Domènec Sugrañes i Gras, Josep Canaleta and Joan Rubió also contributed to the renovation project. The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral, skeletal organic quality.
Like everything Gaudí designed, it is only identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. The ground floor, in particular, has unusual tracery, irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone work. There are few straight lines, and much of the façade is decorated with a colorful mosaic made of broken ceramic tiles (trencadís). 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 lance of Saint George (patron saint of Catalonia, Gaudí's home), which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.

The unic problem is the price (28,50 Euros) for come inside to this modernist house constroction by Antonio Gaudí.
This is the taxas you pay for the government. Expensive? But if you have money, is wonderful inside and see how Gaudí beggining make this in 1906.
You can see the windows and watch the people outside like and imagination how people live in this bourgeoisie in Avenue PAsseig de Gracia.
Al most, It is worth checking the types of wood used, the glazing and the tiles, all created with a high quality team.

Barcelona is an outstanding place to visit. There are so many great things to see. If you do make the trip make sure that you do yourself a favor and visit as many places as possible, and be sure to stay for more than a couple days. I recommend a week.
It's not at all worth visiting this place. It's just a building, looks good from outside n nothing to see there inside. Waste of time n money. Too expensive. It's enough to see Goudi's one masterpiece that it Sagrada familia in Barcelona.
Another great work of Gaudi.
It's very impressive to see all the details and imagination of Gaudi, beautifully materialized in this amazing building! Don't forget to see the rooftop and the herringbone windows! No straight lines and I reminded me of the underwater world.
We enjoyed our tour and we bought the ticket online to avoid the line.
