Passeig de Gràcia, 92
Houses and emblematic buildings
Casa Milà, commonly known as “La Pedrera”, is Antoni Gaudí’s last civil building and one of the high points of Catalan Modernisme. Built between 1906 and 1912, it is defined by its undulating stone façade, wrought-iron balconies and a rooftop where the chimneys take on sculptural forms. The design departs from conventional architectural lines in favour of an organic approach inspired by natural forms. Inside, an innovative structural system of pillars creates open, flexible spaces, uncommon in residential buildings of the time.
