Description | Gaudí's Casa Milà is practically opposite Casa Batlló, meaning that the tremendous difference between the two buildings can be perceived at a glance. Jujol designed the sinuous wrought iron balustrades in the facade of this edifice, which is popularly called 'La Pedrera' (The Quarry). Jujol completed, in accordance with the master's design, the chimneys on the roof of this housing complex, which contains three patios. The relief's in the stucco at the first floor and the murals in the entrance halls are also Jujol's work. In addition, he made the ceiling and wall paintings in the rest of the interior. |
