Summary
A significant discovery from the restoration of Antoni Gaudí's Casa Batlló reveals that one of its apartments remains unchanged since its original design by Gaudí. This finding emerged during the development of a comprehensive Restoration Master Plan, which aimed to balance tourist expectations with the preservation of the building's historical integrity. The study involved rigorous investigation, uncovering previously unknown data and establishing restoration criteria that prioritize safety, accessibility, and cultural heritage protection. The plan addresses modern needs such as fire safety and universal access while ensuring the monument's authenticity is preserved for future generations.
