About Casa Milà - La Pedrera‍

Casa Milà - La Pedrera is another of the UNESO World Heritage Sites in Barcelona designed by the legendary Catalan Architect, Antoni Gaudí. Commissioned by Roser Segimon and her husband, Pere 'Milà' (which is where the name comes from), Casa Milà gets its nickname "La Pedrera" (which translates to "the stone quarry") from its rugged, stone-like façade, thus comparing it to a rock-quarry.

Gaudi built La Pedrera using three types of stones sourced from mountains near Barcelona. LImestone from Garraf and Ulldecona and another type of stone from Vilafranca de Penedès, which was used for the majority of the front facing exterior wall. La Pedrera was constructed between 1906 and 1912 and shows Gaudí's innovative spirit and why it has become such a major landmark and very popular attraction in the city, along with some of his other properties.

You can explore his extraordinary design at La Pedrera, his creative use of colours, shapes, and organic forms that make his work unmistakable, with every design element serving a distinct purpose and adhering to his high standards of quality.

Casa Milà was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984 following its restoration and the historic building continues to captivate and inspire even today, highlighting Gaudí's architectural genius.

La Pedrera was built on 'Passeig de Gràcia', which is one of Barcelona's most exclusive and fashionable streets. Gaudí even defied municipal building guidelines during its construction, which resulted in La Pedrera exceeding what was allowed, rendering it technically illegal at the time! However, upon completion, the city council certified it as "a monument in nature," exempting it from the local bylaws!

The front facing exterior wall of Casa Milà, also known as the 'façade' which gives the building its nickname of "La Pedrera" is not a structural part of the property and doesn't act as a load bearing wall. The wall is made up of over 6000 blocks of stone that are connected by metal poles. Its this design that allows the building to have the large windows on the front of the property.

Gaudi's use of pillars inside the property whcih are made from stone, brick and iron are a clever design as they are used for load bearing purposes and this allowed him to built the interior as he wanted and not worry about load bearing walls ruining the flow. He also wanted Casa Milà to have a lot of natural light flowing through it, as he loved nature and natural light, so La Pedrera actually has has around 150 windows!

Casa Milà was Gaudi's final civil work (private domestic commission) before he stopped taking on projects so he could concentrate on his crowning glory, the Sagrada Familia.
