Gaudi part 2 - Casa Mila

Casa Mila (known as La Pedrera (stone quarry - what residents thought of it) Again, an interesting story worth reading about. Built in 1906-12 by wealthy couple who planned on living on main floor and renting out higher floors. Much controversy throughout as imaginable. Now another world heritage site with one restored apartment open to public. Chimneys are just peaking over the edge.
