Casa Batlló

The tower. Crowned by a four-armed cross, it has a cylndrical base and a staircase within.As a crowning piece for the roof, Gaudí planned a bulbous shaped tower, which was made in the Island of Mallorca, topped with a cross pointing towards the four cardinal points.High up in the tower, Gaudí put the anagrams of the Holy Family: IHS for Jesus, M for Mary, which is crowned by the ducal crown and JHP for Joseph.

Superb closeup of the tower. This is the front of it, so I'm trying to figure out how you got so close! V.
