The venue
La Pedrera - Casa Milà
Gaudí's Modernism: a stone wave.
On Passeig de Gràcia, La Pedrera – Casa Milà stands as a landmark of Catalan Modernism. Designed by Antoni Gaudí between 1906 and 1912, its undulating stone facade, earning it the nickname "the quarry", defied the era's conventions. The building boasts structural innovations like a self-supporting facade and an open-plan layout, crowned by a sculptural rooftop. It's a testament to Gaudí's organic vision and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1984.
