La Pedrera - Casa Milà

This guide to La Pedrera - Casa Milà in Barcelona opens with Antoni Gaudí no longer speaking to the family who paid for it by the time construction finished. It follows Pere Milà, a politician of modest means, and his wealthy wife Roser Segimon as they hire the city's most radical architect, and the clashes that followed over a piano, a planned rooftop statue, and an unpaid fee. Look up at the twisted stone chimneys along the rooftop as you take in the undulating facade below.
