As odd as his architecture, Gaudi's work is now a World Heritage Site.
La Pedrera (1905) is at 92 Passeig de Gràcia at the junction with Carrer Provenca. The Pedrera which means "Quarry" because of its stone-like appearance, was originally called Casa Milà.
It was constructed to house apartments and offices however the owner had difficulty renting the apartments because prospective tenants thought they would have problems furnishing the rooms as they were so irregularly shaped.
La Pedrera is now a museum and is open to the public.
