La Pedrera, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

Facade of La Pedrera, or Casa Mila, built 1906-10 by Catalan Modernist architect Antoni Gaudi, 1852-1926, on Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The house was commissioned by businessman Pere Mila i Camps, and has an undulating facade and 2 inner courtyards. Josep Maria Jujol, 1879-1949, designed the windows and fluid wrought iron balconies and the plaster work is by Joan Beltran. The roof houses many skylights, staircase openings and chimneys, some with mosaic work, and with twisted, organic forms. The building is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is currently the headquarters of the Catalunya-La Pedrera Foundation. Picture by Manuel Cohen
