Dragons of Catalonia
On the roof of Gaudi’s Casa Batlló in Barcelona, Spain (top), and perched in the mountains of Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, to the northwest (bottom). St. George is the patron saint of Catalonia, and it is said that the jagged mountains of Montserrat (the name literally means “serrated mountain”) are the remains of the slain dragon. The back of the great beast can also be seen in the design of Gaudi’s arched roof and scalelike tile work.
