Casa Mila La Pedrera
Casa Mila (La Pedrera) is Gaudi’s last residential building before he devoted himself entirely to the Sagrada Familia, a UNESCO-listed apartment building with an undulating stone facade, a rooftop of chimney warriors, and a free exhibition space in the attic. Entry is paid. The facade on Passeig de Gracia is free to admire from the street. Budget travelers photograph the building from outside and compare it to Casa Batllo one block down, seeing Gaudi’s evolution in two buildings.
