The best panoramas to celebrate Sant Jordi 2023

Both the days before and after April 23, Barcelona prepares various activities that fill the city with colors, magic, flowers and many surprises. It is to celebrate the feast of the patron saint of Catalonia and to remember this tradition based on love and culture. Take note and do not miss anything!


1.- Visit Casa Batlló: 
Every year Gaudí's iconic Casa Batlló dresses up with beautiful red roses and becomes a must-see stop for all those who want to live Sant Jordi to the fullest. In addition, the facade of Casa Batlló hides an interesting legend about the celebration of this day. It is said that the four-armed cross located on the roof represents the sword of Sant Jordi, for its part the tiles of the facade would allude to the scales of a dragon, the main balcony or balcony of "The Princess'' in the form of flower as the only way out of the dragon, the rest of the balconies represent the skulls of the victims of the dragon, the entrance hall of the Batllo recreates the tail of the dragon. We invite you to visit it and be enchanted by this beautiful legend.
