Also known as La Pedrera (meaning "The Quarry"), Casa Mila is an impressive building complex that was completed in 1912. Found in the center of Barcelona, this architectural jewel is one of the masterpieces of the renowned Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, the author of the world-famous church La Sagrada Familia that is located just a few kilometers away.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984, the buildings is notable for a number of unusual architectural features such as twisting wrought iron balconies and self-supporting stone facade.

Because of its extraordinary appearance, this iconic building has been very popular with tourists and it has even been featured in several movies and books.

      Thank you for interesting information and
      detailed description of the photo, @phortun

      I love work Antoni Gaudí.
      This house is notable for being the last secular work of Gaudi before the architect fully devoted himself to work on the Sagrada Familia temple.

        I have been to Barcelona before. But I didn't visit this building. Your post reminds me of Barcelona. I hope to visit Spain again.

          I don't remember Casa Mila as being cream coloured @phortun. I'm going to have to find my old photographs.

          I like the angle of your photograph. It works really well. I remember finding it difficult to get the whole building into one shot and I'm pretty sure I didn't manage it. 😊

          I did post about it when I first joined Steemit so I'll look it out and repost I think as no-one was following me much then. 😊
