Casa Milį - La Pedrera
Casa Mila (Mila House) also known as La Pedrera (the quarry), is an apartment building situated at Passeig de Grącia No. 92. It was built between 1906 and 1910 for the Mila family. As the last example of Gaudi's civil architecture, it is one of his finest and most ambitious creations, extraordinarily innovative in its functional, constructive, and ornamental aspects. All of the makes up a fantastic space which has been called expressionist or an anticipation of Surrealism. Classified as World Heritage in 1984 by UNESCO, La Pedrera was purchased by the Caixa de Catalunya, a savings bank, which has restored it as the head office of its cultural foundation. The building now hosts a variety of exhibitions, cultural events, and has opened up the building to tourists.
