Also called La Pedrera, the apartment block Casa Mila was built between 1906 and 1910.  The design was met with mixed appreciation, since it was a severe departure from established construction principles.  The complex is designed around two circular courtyards, and includes the city’s first underground car park.  Exterior features include ironwork balconies by Josep Maria Jujol, and wave-like walls of white stone that give the building it’s truly unique, curvilinear appearance.  The top floor has a museum that explains the architect’s work and provides access to the magical rooftop with unique turrets, chimneys and air ducts.  Each of these sculptural objects is purposeful and practical but creates a unique and visually captivating appearance.  The pathways follow the same principles of the building exterior.  An apartment is maintained with furnishing from the time period, which emphasizes the creative genius of Gaudi.  The apartment is surprisingly spacious with luxury amenities including ensuite bathrooms.
