La Pedrera (The Stone Quarry)

On the Passeig de Gracia, at the Carrer de Provenca, you can find one of the most interesting buildings in the city, and the one that today also receives the most visitors: the 1905 Casa Mila, also called La Pedrera, one of Antoni Gaudi's great buildings. La Pedrera, or Casa Mila, is a veritable abstract monumental sculpture formed by organic shapes. The two patios should be visited, and if you ask for permission, you can visit the roof, where the chimneys and air vents form an impressive group of abstract sculptures, making the visitor feel transported to a spectacular dream world.
