One of the most recognized monuments in Barcelona is Casa Milà, also known as La Pedrera, an amazing work by Barcelona’s most famous architect Antoni Gaudí.
Completed in 1912, Casa Milà was designed to be a private residence and was commissioned by Pere Milà. It remained a home until the 1960s when the original owners died and the house was then parceled up.
It then housed various businesses like a bingo hall, insurance company, and other offices. By 1984 it was decided that the house would be restored and was declared and UNESCO site and then opened its doors to visitors.
