You'll quickly notice that my favorite aspect of this building was the roof. The pictures that I took inside of one of the apartments doesn't really show the creative genius of Gaudi. In this particalar building, there are very little straight lines anywhere on the buidling. I don't have a decent picture of the outside, but it could be likened to soft waves in the ocean. Even inside the apartments, there are no harsh corners where the walls meet or at the ceiling. All of it has a curve. In the ceiling, there are even little ripples.
I question whether or not the fence was part of the original design.
Could they be chimneys? I have no idea.
Parc Güell
This thing and the lizard-thing below are practically the mascots for Barcelona. You'll see these in every single souvinir shop. These are both found in the Park that Gaudi designed. Oddly enough, his house is also located in the park and you can tour if your heart so desires.
This is the ceiling in what was intended to be a marketplace. I'm not sure they ever have markets there though.
