What can you see at the Batlló House?

Today, for the "final school work", we have been in Barcelona, at the Eixample.
We have seen the Batlló House, and we've learned that Batlló's frontal, has a meaning, but it's confusing....
Some people say that it's related to Sant Jordi legend (the multicolored undulating roof represents the skin of the dragon, and it have a big sword nailed on the top) but some people says that it's related to the carnival (the balconys represent the masks and the roof, a funny hat).
What do you think?

  1. The balconys really looks like the masks from the carnival. Its a very special, but beautiful house, I think.

  3. I had been told that the balconies represented the skeletons of the people eaten by the dragon... :)
