Barcelona Photo Gallery - Casa Milà - La Pedrera by Antoni Gaudí:
"Casa Milà - La Pedrera" (1906-1912).   In the late 19th and early 20th century the district of Eixample (Passeig de Gràcia and the surrounding areas) became the hub of Barcelona's expansion.  Antoni Gaudí was commissioned by the industrialist, Pere Milà, to construct a building on the boundary of Barcelona and Gràcia, as both a family residence and also to be leased as separate dwellings.
Owing to the way its facade appears to be carved out of rock, the Casa Milà was nicknamed "La Pedrera", which means stone quarry.  In 1984, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site."  It is interesting to note that there is an excellent view of Sagrada Familia from the roof!
