What you'll see
A grand boulevard lined with Modernista houses: Casa Batlló's bone-like balconies and scaly roof, its neighbours Casa Amatller and Casa Lleó Morera, and Casa Milà further up, all free to admire from the pavement.
A brief history
The block with three rival houses by three architects is nicknamed the 'Block of Discord'; rich families competed to build the most daring home in the new district.
