Front facade

There are many interpretations of the elements of the front facade, including skull shapes in the balconies (representing those killed by the dragon that was later slain by St. George), vegetable forms and human bone joints in the columns.

richly decorative...I admire Gaudi's apparent disdain for straight lines...too bad more architects have not learned from him..
