Architect Antoni Gaudi is one of the most influential practitioners of Catalan Modernism, which centred on reclaiming Catalan identity through arts and culture. A century has passed since Gaudi’s most iconic civil building of Gaudinian architecture was completed: the attic of the Pedrera. The Casa Mila (La Pedrera) is considered the most iconic work of Antoni Gaudi’s civic architecture because of its construction, functionality, and ornamentation innovation, breaking away from the current architectural style.

The inside

I took an elevator and went up to a higher floor.  This floor reproduces the interiors of the Pedrera apartment from the early 20th century.

Then walked up to another floor, which showed some of Gaudi’s work
