Casa Milà – La Pedrera of Gaudí
Casa Milà is a block of flats in the L’Eixample district of Barcelona and was designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. The Casa Milàcomplex was built between 1906 and 192 and is one of the most important sights in Barcelona. It is also called the “La Pedrera”, which is Catalan for ‘The Stone Quarry’. The name “La Pedrera” refers to the rough appearance of the apartment complex. It used to be meant as a form of criticism, as Casa Milà did not meet any of the architectural standards of the day.
Casa Milà & Catalan modernism
Characteristic for Casa Milà are the organic and natural shapes that Gaudí used in his design. His style is also called Catalan Modernism. During the design, modernist Antoni Gaudí was at the peak of his career, and it was his final civil design before he began work on the Sagrada Familia. The design was commissioned by rich industrialist Pere Milà, who later resided on the first floor of the complex.
Gaudi and Milà butted heads numerous times when it came to taste, leading to Gaudi leaving the project before it was completed. The non-angular shapes of the rooms turned out to be an issue for finding tenants for the flats.
Visit Casa Mila Barcelona
The Casa Milà is now home to a museum with different exhibitions. Casa Milà also has a decorated flat on the fourth floor (early 20th century), the attic (with an exhibition on the work of architect Gaudí and its secrets) and the flowing roof terrace with unique ventilation towers and chimneys that can be viewed. The chimneys have irregular shapes that are typical for the building, and the roof terrace offers a beautiful view of the city. Be aware that the roof is only open to visitors if the weather is good.
Casa Milà had the first multi-story car park. Residents of Casa Milà-La Pedrera could take their carriage (and later car) to their own floor and flat. Lifts were installed in Casa Milà at a later date. In 1984, La Pedrera was officially recognised as a UNESCO world heritage site.
The house is located on the shopping street Passeig de Gràcia in the district Eixample of Barcelona.
Book your Casa Mila tickets
Tip: Casa Milà often has long queues and only allows a limited number of visitors per time slot. I therefore recommend simply arranging your skip-the-line tickets for Casa Milà “La Pedrera” in advance at no extra cost.

Casa Batlló
(1904 – 1906) Josep Battló i Casanovas commissioned Gaudi to build this apartment complex on the Passeig de Gràcia. Nothing in the building is angular; it’s all flowing lines. The roof of Casa Batlló full of mosaics represents the back of a dragon. One of Antoni Gaudi’s most beautiful UNESCO buildings.

floor, where the life of the bourgeois Catalan family, who lived

facade, which is an undulating stone
building 30 meters high. Forged railings decorating balconies,
rightfully could take a place in the museum exposition as samples
sculptural solutions in the Art Nouveau style. On the roof of the building is equipped
terrace where the chimney pipes are stone statues
warriors who symbolically guard the house. From here opens
wonderful view of the city.
The interiors of the apartment immerse visitors in the atmosphere of the 1910s
years. The owners managed to keep the parquet, original furniture,
utensils and even decor items created by Gaudí himself.

effects. There is a show on the rooftop at night.
