About Casa Milà (La Pedrera)

Built between 1906 and 1912 on one of the most exclusive roads in Barcelona, 'Passeig de Gràcia', in the L'Eixample district of the city, it's referred to as 'La Pedrera' because the front façade looks similar to a rock quarry, and 'La Pedrera' translates to 'Stone Quarry'.

The property is a block of flats designed in Modernism architectural style by the late Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudí, and is one of Barcelona's most famous and popular landmarks.

The name 'Milà' comes from the couple that commissioned the property, Roser Segimon and her husband, Pere 'Milà', who lived in part of the building and rented the rest out.

The famous front wall is not a structural part of the property and doesn't act as a load bearing wall. It is made up of more than 6000 blocks of stone which connect to the building by metal components, and that is how the large windows on the front were made possible.

Everything has a purpose and it all had to pass Gaudí's high quality standards. His designs may not look like normal properties due to their use of colours and materials, but he designed everything to be useable and functional.

Interesting Facts About Casa Milà La Pedrera

• Gaudí's clever use of pillars which are made from stone, brick and iron, are used for load bearing purposes in the property 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.
• As Gaudí took inspiration from nature, you will notice there are very few (if any) straight lines in Casa Milà.
• La Pedrera has around 150 windows.
• Casa Milà was Gaudí's final private domestic commission before he stopped to concentrate on his crowning glory, the Sagrada Familia.
• Gaudí didn't follow 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.
