Architectural highlight: Casa Milà (La Pedrera) by Gaudi.
The exterior. Gaudi designed this home for Rosario Segimon and Pere Milà.
The rooftop. This was the 1st of Gaudi's works that I'd visited. And frankly, I was simply bowled over by Gaudi's ingenuity & the boldness of his avant garde designs during that time. On hindsight, his talent showed early. When he graduated as an architect, his professor had remarked that only time will tell if he (Gaudi) were a "raving lunatic" or a "genius".
Another shot from the rooftop. See the undulating facade of the building? They hardly make them like that anymore.
The interior.
Stairs.
Inner courtyard.
Look at the wrought-ironwork on the balcony. Adds to the organic feel of the building.

I've never really liked Gaudi's works, finding them on the "gaudy" side - pun intended.
But the genius shows through in your photos :)
