Barcelona's top attractions are architecture -- The city is famous for Gaudi, a unique architect who many say was and still is far ahead of his time (early 1900s). His style is organic and fluid, if not a little mysterious. This is Casa Mila / La Pedrera has been partly redeveloped into a museum.

It is said that there are no straight walls anywhere in the building.

This is the building's terrace -- it has tons of odd statues and sculptures to gawk at with all the many other tourist there.

Looking down into the middle of the building, you can see that the building is shaped like a doughnut and displays a courtyard far below.

A closer look at the statues atop the terrace, I find the "faces" very serious in tone, very macabre and harsh.

He often had sets of these statues, yet look closely. Each one carries unique features.

Again, yet another different set.

They almost look like gladiators or soldiers wearing a metallic mask.

This one looks like he's sleeping on the job.

This is the main statue of the group... and gives off sort of a Jabba-the-Hut presence.

In front of one window lies a fish-eye mirror whereby you can see around the side of the house. The landscape looks almost alien.

A lamp hangs in the main hallway and seems to be keeping a cheerful eye on the building's visitors.

Another one of Gaudi's house, this one has rounded windows and skull-shaped balconies.

...with bone-like posts across its facade.

Of course, just to keep you on your toes, Gaudi has also developed this more homey cottage right next to the previous skeleton building.

This second house is adorned with fantastic gargoyles and ornamentation.

This is Gaudi's palace overseeing a large park... also known as Parc Gruell.

There are interesting house located at the bottom end of the park. And note that he seems to have a particularly strong liking to to colourful and jewelled eggs, as you can see on the top of the roof.

Another house, another funny egg. Again, the house seems to be outlined in a bone-like structure.

Gaudi seemed to have quite a liking to lizards. The centerpiece of his park was this mosaic beauty which seems to draw a lot of attention from the crowd.

The rooftop of his palace present a wavy line of cement benches all decked out in colourful mosaic portraits and dotted randomly with more gargoyles.
