Gaudi's La Casa Milà "La Pedrera"

La Pedrera, "The Quarry"was built between 1906-1910. Architecturally speaking it was seen as very innovative.  His use of columns for support and lack of load bearing walls freed up space for his unique designs. We found the roof to be most interesting.  Ordinary chimneys and skylights become fun sculptures covered with limestone, mosaic glass and  marble designs. (A fun fact is that the limestone used in this building came from the 'quarry' in Villefranche in the Escarow region of France.)

In the attic you actually get to see some some

 of the furniture that he designed for this house and Casa Batlló. Both La Pedrera  and  La Casa Milà are  worth your time and  the price of admittance😊
