Antoni Gaudí was born in 1852 close to Tarragona (south of Barcelona). He was, and still is, one of the most famous Modernist architects in the world. The "Spirit of Gaudi" limited edition is inspired by La Pedrera, a building by Gaudí.
The building was constructed between 1906 and 1912 for the Milà family, a couple possessing a great fortune made from their business activities. That is why La Pedrera is also known as the Casa Milà. The couple wanted to locate the building in the elegant
Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona and hired the most expensive and famous architect to do so - Antoni Gaudí.
The Casa Milà was the last civil commission undertaken by the artist. On the 2nd November 1984 La Pedrera was declared as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.
