The curved walls and the bizarre shapes of the cast iron balconies of the Pedrera surprise and fascinate people every day, so go along and feast your eyes!<\/p>\n

La Pedrera, built between 1906 and 1912 has been open to the public since 1996 and has been classed as a UNESCO world heritage site since 1984.<\/p>\n

Casa Milà, if we use its real name, is nicknamed “la Pedrera” because of the use of stone blocks in the façade, pedrera<\/em> meaning quarry in Catalan.<\/p>\n

Architectural prowess of the Gaudí museum<\/h3>\n

\nTo make la Pedrera curved, Gaudí had the ingenious idea of weighing the building with a series of columns and beams, rather than with the external walls, leaving them free to take the serpentine shape that the architect wanted.<\/p>\n
