A A waiter prepares cocktails in waiter Casa Mila, La Pedrera, skyline of Barcelona, Spain. The chimneys. Panorama of the roof at dusk, evening, night. Unesco Heritage. Even if architecture isn't your thing, Gaud?'s trippy Casa Milr (or La Pedrera, the quarry) on Passeig de Grrcia is a must-see. The house's undulating face, lack of right angles, and surrealistic flourishes?twisted ironwork, chimneys shaped like soldiers?raised eyebrows when it was completed around 1912 but is now considered one of Gaud?'s greatest achievements. It was deemed a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984, along with the other Gaud? buildings in the city. The entrance fee is around $23, but it's nada to soak up the fantastical facade from the sidewalk. La Pedrera, also known as the Casa Milr, is an architectural work by Antonio Gaud? located on the famous Passeig de Gracia in Barcelona's Eixample district. Built between 1906 and 1910 in distinct Modernist style, this house is a clear example of Gaudi's architectural style, dominated by curves and organic forms that evoke nature. The building has five floors, a cellar and a terrace roof, plus two large courtyards. For the construction of the Casa Milr, Gaudi was aided by his assistants Domcnec Sugranes and Josep Canaleta, plus builder Josep Bayo i Font, who had worked with him on the Casa Batllo project. The Casa Milr was declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1969 and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984. Since 1986, the Casa Milr has been owned by the Caixa Catalunya bank. In summer, the terrace serves as a venue for outdoor concerts. A perfect example of Catalan Modernism. (Photo by Sergi Reboredo) *** Please Use Credit from Credit Field ***
