Casa Milà (La Pedrera) A huge abstract sculpture

Passeig de Gràcia 92 Barcelona, Barcelona 08008 +34 93 285 3834 (Tourist Information)

Antoni Gaudí, the architect who built this jewel of Catalan modernism, wanted the façade to reflect his romantic and anti-classical ideas about design. It was built for the Milà family between 1906 and 1910. Neither the family nor the public were much impressed, and it was dubbed La Pedrera (stone quarry) as an insult. Only later in 1984, it won great acclaim when the UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site. Now internationally celebrated, Casa Mila is a prime example of Gaudi's civil architecture; a real example of form following function that is aesthetically appealing as well as outstandingly practical.
