About Casa Milà (La Pedrera)

Built between 1906 and 1912 on one of Barcelona's most exclusive roads, Passeig de Gràcia in the L'Eixample district, Casa Milà is referred to as La Pedrera because of its stone façade which resembles a rock quarry, and La Pedrera translates to 'The Stone Quarry'.

The building was designed as a luxury apartment building in a Modernism architectural style by Antoni Gaudí, and it is one of Barcelona's most famous landmarks and popular attractions. The name 'Milà' comes from the couple that commissioned it, Roser Segimon and her husband, Pere 'Milà', who lived in part of the building and rented the rest out.

The front wall is not a structural part of the building and doesn't act as a load-bearing wall. It is made up of more than 6,000 blocks of stone which connect to the property by metal bars, and that is how the large windows were made possible.

Everything in Casa Milà has a purpose and it all had to pass Gaudí's high standards. His designs may not look normal due to his use of colours and materials, but he designed everything to be usable and functional.

Interesting Facts About Casa Milà

• Gaudí's clever use of pillars in the property, which are made from stone, brick and iron, are used for load bearing purposes and allowed him to design the interior as he wanted, so he didn't need to worry about load bearing walls ruining the flow of the property.
• The attic, which was originally designed as the communal laundry and air chamber, is now used as the Gaudí Exhibition and is a space devoted to his life and work.
• Gaudí took much of his inspiration from nature, which is why there are almost no straight lines throughout the building.
• Casa Milà contains around 150 windows, helping fill the apartments with natural light.
• Casa Milà was Gaudí's final private domestic commission before devoting himself almost entirely to the Sagrada Familia.
• Gaudí didn't follow the building guidelines issued by the council and this resulted in the size of the La Pedrera being beyond what was allowed, in essence making it illegal. It was only after completion the council certified the building as "a monument in nature" and on that basis, it didn't need to abide by the bylaws.
• Casa Milà was built using stones from mountains near Barcelona.There are three types used on the front of the property. Limestone from two locations, Garraf & Ulldecona (with the different limestones used for different reasons) and stone from Vilafranca de Penedès, which is used for the majority of the façade.
• The rooftop is nicknamed 'the garden of warriors' due to the ventilation towers and chimneys designed as sculptures with what appear to be faces of warriors moulded to them.
• No two balconies at La Pedrera are the same.
• Casa Milà was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1984 as part of the "Works of Antoni Gaudí", recognising its outstanding architectural importance.

Fundacio Catalunya La Pedrera

Casa Milà has its own foundation called the 'Fundacio Catalunya La Pedrera'. It was set up in 2013 to help people and projects across Catalonia in various ways. The foundation uses some of the income generated by the property to support social, educational, cultural and environmental projects across the region.
