La Pedrera (Casa Milà)
Another fantastic construction by the creative genius Antonio
Gaudi, Casa Mila, commonly known as La Pedrera, was the last civil
work that Gaudi undertook before dedicating all his time to the
assembly of La Sagrada Família. The building demonstrates
the signature style of Gaudi with elaborate designs, globular
shapes, assorted sculptures, colourful tiles and intricate details.
Built between 1906 and 1912, the distinct architecture of La
Pedrera and her counterparts was unconventional and unheard of in
the popular Spanish architecture of the time. Renowned for its
attractive rippled façade, visitors to La Pedrera can also
witness a spectacular panoramic view from the rooftop as well as
some eccentric signature style chimneys.
