An abnormal look to the objects on the roof of Casa Milà (a.k.a. La Pedrera)...
The final secular design (construction between 1905-1910) of the Catalan surrealist Antoni Gaudí , Casa Milà Barcelona is an apartment building with a fanciful aura. Wavy walls made of rough-chipped stone suggest fossilized ocean waves, while doors and windows look like they are dug out of sand. A comical array of chimney stacks dances across the roof.
This unique building is widely but unofficially known as La Pedrera (the Quarry). In 1984, UNESCO classified Casa Milà as a World Heritage site, and it is today used for cultural expositions.
