This is where they held the Spanish Inquisition. We didn't go inside or anyhthing though.
Another building by Gaudi, of course I forget what it is called. But it was really cool, the balconies represent skulls, the dead people that the dragon (picture below) has killed. There's this legend of some saint dude that slays a dragon to save the princess, i forget which guy it is though sorry. And at the bottom, the little pillar things look like bones. Creepy.
Can you see the dragon-ish shape at the top?
Apartment building build by Gaudi. We got to go inside on a tour of the place, it was really pretty. The cool thing is that evrything that Gaudi did, he was kind of made fun of, people thought he was insane. Now eveyone just thinks it's super cool and that he was a genius. But that's the way it goes. Also, he added this attic thing on the top, made of bricks b/c they're lighter, for the purpose of drying clothes and to insulate the building, so that the top apartment isn't either super hot or super cold depending on the weather.
