La Pedrera (1905) can be found at No 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.
La Pedrera 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 irregularly shaped.
Pedro Milà i Camps, a rich businessman was impressed by the Casa Battló, an expressionist building designed by Gaudi. He commissioned Gaudi to construct an apartment building on a corner site at the Passeig de Gracia, in the Eixample district.
