Casa Batlló will light its façade with a Christmas illumination from 26 November 2026, giving the Barcelona landmark a seasonal programme alongside its winter evening visit. The display will continue until 6 January, while the house offers special lighting, projections and audio stories inside.
Christmas illumination begins on 26 November
The operator’s official programme places the Christmas illumination on the façade from 26 November 2026 to 6 January. The display is described as an illumination for the building’s exterior, so travellers can see the seasonal element from the street without treating it as a separate interior exhibition.
The façade programme is linked to A Winter Night, the seasonal visit presented by Casa Batlló. The experience uses special lighting and projections inside the house and offers three audio-story choices: the house nanny Fermina, Batlló family descendant Juan Carlos, or a general audio guide. The official winter visit programme gives the façade dates and identifies the building as the venue.
Gaudí’s house meets a newly restored interior
The winter programme arrives after a restoration milestone inside the building. In May 2026, Casa Batlló announced the restoration of Gaudí’s last original residence in the property, a space that had been inhabited by direct descendants of the Batlló family for more than a century.
The restoration used an archaeological approach, removing later layers to recover elements of the original domestic interior. The operator lists restored woodwork, stucco, floors and construction systems, and says the work revealed the character of the 1906 architecture. This connects the seasonal programme with a particular part of the house: the evening visit presents a living residence, while the restoration has brought another historic residential space back into the visitor story. Details of the restoration are set out in the restoration record for 2018-2026.
Antoni Gaudí’s design is part of the Modernisme heritage of Barcelona, and the building is presented by its operator as a World Heritage site. Its undulating façade, sculptural rooftop and inner courtyard form the architectural setting for the winter programme rather than a temporary event venue added beside it.
