Gaudi built 2 blocks of flats with separate entrances, arranged around two large interlinked patios, which facilitated the entry of light into the building . The flowy, undulating lines of its facade are echoed within and on the roof terrace with its amazing set of architectural-sculptures. These sculptures fulfill a functional role : stairways, ventilation towers and chimneys. Some are covered with trencadis(ceramic fragments) while those less visible from the streets are roughcast rendered and painted.
I loved how the different sculptures evoke the feeling of a huge battlefield of kings, knights and horses, all poised for the ultimate showdown.
