A Brief History of the Casa Mila

The construction of this architectural masterpiece began in 1906 and was initially commissioned by Pere Mila and his wife, Roser Regimon. Antoni Gaudi, hired by the couple, designed the unconventional building with an aim to “meet the needs of the modern life”, however it faced a host of criticism because of certain issues that it faced during its construction. It wasn’t until 1912 that Casa Mila was finally completed, however, the relationship between the wealthy industrialists and Gaudi was often mocked upon by the public.

‘La Pedrera’, that translates to ‘Stone Quarry’ was constructed using elements of geometry and nature. Gaudi imagined the structure to be ‘ever-changing’ and added ‘curves’ to its facade as a result. Consisting of nine levels, a unique feature of the Casa Mila is that it includes asymmetry as a major part of its architecture, this was more since Gaudi was known to be against straight lines.

Inside Casa Mila

Antoni Gaudi’s artistic and unconventional vision gave birth to Casa Mila. The house, which is 9 stories tall, is equipped with a natural ventilation system. It consists of two large inner courtyards, a basement, an attic as well as a rooftop. Here are a couple of important rooms you should visit during your tour:

The Rooftop

Espai Gaudi (Attic)

Home to the Espai Gaudi museum, the attic comprises of 270 parabolic arches that give one a feeling of walking through a maze. Today, it is divided into seven sections dedicated to the master architect Antoni Gaudi.

The Pedrera Apartments

The famous apartments that were home to the Milas remain untouched even today. Visitors can get a glimpse of their opulent lives that continue to remain as it is centuries on.

The Courtyard

The two individual apartments that intersect at the courtyard is one of the most prominent parts of the structure. Be prepared to marvel at the delicate floral motifs and murals that adorn its interior.
