Casa Milà – La Pedrera
Location: Passeig de Gracia, Eixample, Barcelona, Catalunya, north east Spain
Dates built: 1905-10
Design: Antoni Gaudí Architect
Casa Mila is a beautiful sculptural building that expresses pure tectonic delight. Unlike Sagrada Familia (also by Antoni Gaudi in this city) its architecture is simpler and less specific, therefore in many ways more sophisticated.

Antoni Gaudi has taken stone and moulded it like lava, achieving pure drama.
