La Pedrera - Casa Milà | Antoni Gaudí

The Casa Milà, known as La Pedrera, is a modernist building that was designed by the architect Antoni Gaudí and built between 1906 and 1910. This fantasy in stone appears to have been carved out of the living rock, hence its nickname "La Pedrera - the quarry". This was Gaudí's last secular work before dedicating the rest of his life to the Sagrada Família. Pere Milà the owner of the site had been inspired by the Casa Batlló, also on Passeig de Gràcia, and commissioned Gaudí to design a large apartment building.

Today the building is owned by Caixa Catalunya, a Catalan bank. You can visit an apartment which has been carefully restored and furnished, and in the magical attic space there is an exhibition of Gaudí's work. Don't forget to visit the roof with its spectacular chimneys and views. The first floor is now used for temporary art exhibitions.

Building declared a World Heritage Site

The building has been declared a UNESCO Heritage Site in 1984. Since La Pedrera was opened to the public in 1987, it has received more than 20 million visits (one million a year). Such number of visits make it one of the ten most visited monuments of Barcelona.

Casa Mila received the name of La Pedrera for its spectacular stone facade (pedrera means quarry in Catalan), a facade on which you should also focus your attention on the wrought iron railings of the balconies, created from recycled elements. When visiting the interior of the building you can enter a furnished and decorated apartment with the original elements, so you will know how its inhabitants lived shortly after the work was finished. In addition to the portal, stairs and corridors, you will visit the patio of flowers and the patio of butterflies; the attic of the whale that houses the Gaudí Space that offers an overview of the architect's work with models, plans and audiovisual aids; and the roof with its famous warrior chimneys and spectacular views of Barcelona.
