Gaudí's La Pedrera was inspired by a mountain, but there is no agreement as to which mountain was the reference model. Joan Bergós thought it was the rocks of Fray Guerau in [[Prades mountains]]. Joan Matamala thought that the model could have been St. Miquel del Fai, while the sculptor Vicente Vilarubias believed it was inspired by the cliffs Torrent Pareis in [[Menorca]]. Other options include the mountains of [[Uçhisar]] in [[Cappadocia]], suggested by Juan Goytisolo, or Mola Gallifa, suggested by Louis Permanyer, based on the fact that Gaudí visited the area in 1885 to escape an outbreak of cholera in [[Barcelona]].<ref name=permanyer/>

Some people say that the interior layout of La Pedrera comes from studies that Gaudí made of medieval fortresses. This image is reinforced by the seeming appearance of the rooftop chimneys as "sentinels" with great helmets.<ref Name=ruta/> The structure of the iron door in the lobby does not follow any symmetry, straight or repetitive pattern. Rather, it evokes bubbles of [[soap]] that are formed between the hands or the structures of a plant cell.<ref name="cirici">[[Alexandre Cirici i Pellicer|CIRICI A.]] ''Barcelona pam a pam''.
