ARCHITECT: ANTONI GAUDI (1906)

Gaudi's Casa Mila, also known as La Pedrera, "The Quarry" is said to be the last civil work done by Gaudi.
The complex has the distinctive mark of the architect, but is not as flamboyant as Casa Battlo.
I found the interior horse carriage ramp quite fascinating.
Once again, we did not get to tour the interior, but the intricate iron balcony railings by Josep Maria Jujol are worth the visit alone.
