Casa Milà - La Pedrera

Another masterpiece by Gaudí built from 1905-10, commissioned by the wealthy Pere Milà. This building was designed to be used as a fashionable home for the Milà family and as an office block. The house’s original name was Casa Milà; however, the building is better known by its name “La Pedrera” (The Quarry), which refers to the uneven gray stone facade that ripples around the corner of Carrer de Provença.
