 Detail of the building by Maria_75 The facade is made of rough-chipped stone and looks like an impressive wave-like mass. It is built by Gaudí who saw it as a petrified wave, and the hard materials contrasts with the moving waves. The wrought iron, especially on the balconies, have beautiful and very special forms. On the roof there are plenty sculptured spirals crowned by four repeated crosses and faced with broken pieces of ceramic. The whole building is really a fantastic sight, looking like nothing else that you have seen before. Leave a Comment Phone: 93 484 5900Directions: Eixample district Metro 'FGC Diagonal/Provenca'

 La Pedreta by scottishvisitor Another Gaudi masterpiece Casa Mila or La Pedrera = meaning Quarry, built in the early twentieth century. A most amazing building, constructed for a very wealthy family, it is now private flats. The sides of this apartment building look like frozen waves. La Ramblas pedestrian walkway area, constructed much later has a similar effect but it is flat just creating an optical illusion.

You take an elevator when you enter in "La Pedrera" and a hostess give you an audioguide. It takes you to the attic when you start your visit to "Gaudí space", an exhibition where the different Gaudí's works are shown. It's very interesting and it worth all the time the audioguide is running, which explains you the Gaudí motivations, his technics, his contemporary time and a lot of curiosities. This attic was concibed as an air camera to avoid the warm in summer and the cold in winter. They explain you that the building has two big patios in order to avoid the ugly traditional small patios. Those one in la Pedrera are like outside façades. Cuando entras en la Pedrera tomas un ascensor una vez que una azafata te da una audioguía. Este te lleva al ático donde comienzas tu visita al "Espacio Gaudí", una exposición donde se muestran las diferentes obras de Gaudí. Es muy interesante y merece la pena tomar todo el tiempo que dura la audioguía, que explica las motivaciones de Gaudí, sus técnicas, su tiempo contemporaneo y muchas curiosidades. Este ático se concibió somo unacámara de aire para evitar el calor del verano y el frio del invierno. Aquí explican que el edificio tiene dos grandes patios para evitar los pequeños y feos patios tradicionales. Aquellos de la Pedrera son como fachadas exteriores. Leave a Comment

 La Pedrera (;a casa Mila) by emilybcn This Apartment building was comissioned by a wealthy man named Pere Mila. He wanted a place to live which would impress others and Gaudi wanted to express his unique designs and thus La Pedrera was built. It really is worth going inside of this building mainly for the amazing rooftop adorned with Gaudi's famous chimneys that look like soldiers. These same designs were also seen on the more modern side of the Sagrada Familia. Inside you can tour what the an apartment looks like, and learn more about Gaudi in the surprisingly interesting laundry room attic.

by zumodemango The sinuous fachade of La Pedrera(1905), the quarry, seems to me like the sea. All Gaudi art is here. It is possible to visit inside from 10-20h, everyday. I think teh chimney and the colums are fantastic as well as the iron details in the balconies. Leave a Comment Phone: 93 484 5900Directions: Eixample district Metro 'FGC Diagonal/Provenca'

La Pedrera is translated as ‘stone quarry’. This building designed by Gaudi is definitely worth a visit. If you walk down the Passeig de Gràcia, you cannot miss this striking building. It is a beautiful building which is declared an UNESCO heritage building. There are several areas you can visit in the building. There is a reconstructed Modernista flat on the 4th floor. The exhibition of Gaudi’s work is very interesting and insightful. On the roof, you can have a closer look at the interesting ‘figures’ and ‘objects’ you can see from street level. Entrance fee: 10€ (Sept 2008) Phone: 93 484 5900Directions: Eixample district Metro 'FGC Diagonal/Provenca'

There is a flat opened to the public where there are original furnitures from the begining of the 20th Century. It shows the way of live of a wealthy family in this building with the living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, study and servant's room. Some of the furnitures were designed by Gaudí as well. Hay un piso abierto al público con muebles originales de principios del siglo XX. Muestra la manera de vivir de una familia acomodada en este edificio con el salón, los dormitorios, los cuartos de baño, el despacho y el cuarto de la sirvienta. Algunos de los muebles son diseñados por Gaudí. Leave a Comment

 A Gaudi streetlamp in front of la pedrera by kerouacsdog Or Casa mila, after it's owner. Built by Antonio Gaudi between 1905 and 1910 as an apartment block. El pis de la Pedrera, a recreated Modernista apartment, can be viewed on the 4th floor. Espai Gaudi (Gaudi's space) is housed in the attic and is a good overview of Gaudi's work.

 Casa Mila, La Pedrera by easyoar Casa Mila (Casa means house, and Mila was the family who paid Gaudi to design it) is also known as La Pedrera (meaning Stone Quarry). The Stone Quarry tag was an originally an insult, as when the house was being built it was hugely controversial, and the local population likened Gaudis work to some lumps of stone thrown together. These days the Stone Quarry is considered a masterpiece. It is possible to visit one of the appartments inside which is well worth seeing, but the famous views are on the roof! This picture shows some of the chimney decoration and the Sagrada Familia (another of gaudis creations) in the background. You may need to resize the picture to see this.

 Barcelona - Mila's House - Pedrera by Kuznetsov_Sergey The Mila's house is the main sight of parkway Passeig de Gracia. This Gaudi's building more reminds sculptural, product than product of architecture. The six-storied house is similar to a huge rock. Windows and doors remind grottoes. The forged lattices of balconies are executed in the form of fantastic plants. The house is named Pedrera, that is, a stone quarry. Gaudi has constructed it in 1906-1910 for the richest Mila family. Now there is a bank which has allocated means for restoration, and Gaudi's museum. It is possible to rise on a fantastic roof where multi-coloured ledges of flues remind medieval knights.
