Barcelona - Casa Milà
Casa Milà or popularly known as La Pedrera (English: open quarry) is a modernist building in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
The 'open quarry' named references its unconventional rough-hewn appearance.
Built between 1906 and 1910, it was the last private residence designed by architect Antoni Gaudí.
One of the most notable elements of the building are the chimneys on the roof. They are functional as well as sculptures.
In 1984, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
During June 2000, my son, Brian, backpacked through Europe and visited Barcelona.
