La Pedrera La Pedrera (also known as Casa Mila) was Antoni Gaudi's last great work before dedicating all his time to the Sagrada Familia. It is considered by some to be his finest creation. The work was commissioned by Pere Mila Camps, who impressed by Gaudi's Casa Batllo asked him to create a large building of rental apartments on his new plot on the Paseo de Gracia. Gaudi designed a fantastic building with an unusual undulating facade, many arches, & a staggered roof with strangely shaped chimneys & vents. There were many disputes with the city council during & after its construction, mainly relating to its breaking many of Barcelona's city ordnance rules. But it was eventually decided that due to its artistic value it should be left alone. in 1984 La Pedrera was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO. The La Pedrera building is now owned by the Caixa de Catalunya, who have opened both the roof & the attic to the public. Here visitors can see an exhibition of Gaudi's works. The rooftop provides excellent views of the roof & out across the city, outdoor concerts are often put on here in the summer months. Though some of the apartments are still privately owned, one is open for viewing. Finally the main floor has been given over as an exhibition hall, housing many temporary exhibitions on varying subjects.   Barcelona Tourist Office Tel     +34 932 853 834 (Mon-Fri 9am-8pm & Sat 9am-2pm) More Barcelona Attractions; Barcelona City Zones Barcelona Historic Attractions Barcelona Museums Barcelona Parks & Gardens Barcelona Modern-Other Attractions   Barcelona City Zones La Rambla (Barcelona's busiest street) Ciutat Vella (old city) Barri Gotic (Gothic quarter) L'Eixample (modernist architecture) La Barceloneta (old sailors quarter) Barri de Gracia Passeig de Gracia Barcelona Historic Attractions Sagrada Familia La Pedrera Palau Guell (Palace) Roman Barcelona Barcelona Cathedral Barcelona University Santa Maria del Mar Church Palau de la Musica Catalana Columbus Monument Port Vell Catalunya Square Reial Square Kings Square Sant Jaume Square Espanya Square Barcelona Museums & Galleries Picasso Museum Gaudi Museum Barcelona History Museum Maritime Museum Miro Foundation (Fundacio Miro) Barbier-Mueller Museum of Pre-Colombian Art Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona Parks & Gardens Park Guell Park de la Ciutadella Park Laberint Park Palau Reial Barcelona Modern-Other Attractions Barcelona FC Olympic Barcelona Barcelona Water Parks Barcelona Theme parks More Barcelona links: - Barcelona Spain Site Map Accommodation Barcelona FC Barcelona Beaches Barcelona History Barcelona Water Parks Barcelona Theme Parks Barcelona Aquarium Tibidabo Park Port Aventura Sagrada Familia FC Barcelona Barcelona Football Club Barcelona Hotels Spain Barcelona Cheap Hotels Barcelona Luxury Hotels Barcelona Aparthotels Hotels Barcelona Camp Nou F.C Barcelona Barcelona Soccer Barcelona City Zones Historic Attractions Barcelona Museums Barcelona Parks Modern Attractions Gaudi Gay Barcelona Barcelona Restaurants Picasso Museum La Rambla Barcelona Cathedral Gaudi Museum Olympic Barcelona Ciutat Vella (old city) Palau Guell (Palace) Roman Barcelona Gaudi Museum Barcelona University Barri Gotic -Gothic quarter Barcelona Ferries Barcelona Hotels Spain Barcelona Cheap Hotels Barcelona Luxury Hotels Barcelona Aparthotels Hotels Barcelona La Pedrera, Casa Mila, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
