About
Casa Mila, popularly known as La Pedrera, is a most unusual building, constructed between 1906 and 1912 by the architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) and declared UNESCO World Heritage in 1984. Today it is the headquarters of Fundacio Catalunya La Pedrera and houses a cultural centre that is a reference point in Barcelona for the range of activities it organises and the different spaces for exhibitions and other public uses it contains. A visit to La Pedrera, landmark building and container, gives us a better understanding and appreciation of architecture and transports us to the period when Antoni Gaudi lived.

Top ways to experience Casa Milà - La Pedrera
The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Eixample
Passing through the glorious Plaça Catalunya, you enter the newer city district of Eixample, literally translated as “extension,” which immediately becomes recognisable by its more spacious streets and elegant atmosphere. The main artery of this sizable district, Passeig de Gracia, is lined with high-end international designer stores. Not to be outdone, the glitz and glamour of this zone is perhaps best exemplified by the comfortable and lavish five-star hotels that flank the divine and modernistic buildings from some of the world’s most recognised architects such as Gaudi and Montaner.

    Choosing Which Gaudi Buildings to Visit...
    So many Gaudis, so little time. Unless you have unlimited time, most people have to bite the bullet and narrow down which of Gaudi’s incredible works to visit. This was our first trip to Barcelona and we decided to get tickets for Parc Guell and Sagrada Familia and see Casa Mila from the outside only. The park and Sagrada Familia still remain the two best things we did in Barcelona. It is very easy to see Casa Mila from the street without anything blocking the view. There are no walls or buildings in front of it and because it’s on a corner, you can walk around two sides of the block. Even without going inside, it is absolutely worth making time to walk past. It is also very easy to see Gaudi’s other house, Casa Battlo, at the same time. They are only minutes away from each other on the Passeig de Gracia. Casa Mila is like no other block of apartments I’ve seen or could even imagine. The first impression is startling. It is a stony, strangely undulating façade. The next thing I noticed was that there is not a single straight line. Not one. The building is a constant curve. Apparently Gaudi could do this because he designed the entire limestone façade to be completely self-supporting. The windows are also rounded and the wrought iron balcony railings are twisting curves that twine around in plant-like shapes. It still amazes me to think that this was built in 1906 – 1912 and yet it still looks modern, futuristic even. To put it in context, 1912 was the year of the Titanic and two years before WWI. Gaudi was commissioned by the wealthy industrialist Pere Milà in 1906 to build Casa Mila from scratch so, unlike Casa Battlo, this block is 100% Gaudi. You can see that he had the full freedom to let loose with all of his unique designs and unusual forms. Once it was finished, Pere Milà moved here with his family and the interior of his apartment has been kept exactly the way it was the day he moved in. TIPS: 1. It is also very easy to see Gaudi’s other house, Casa Battlo, at the same time. They are only minutes away from each other on the Passeig de Gracia. 2. If you have a choice with the weather, I’d recommend waiting for a day when there is a clear, blue sky. We found that the stark white limestone curves against a clear sky made wonderful photos. COST: The entry price is rather hefty but it is worth noting that both Casa Battlo and Sagrada Familia are similarly priced. Casa Mila starts at €27 but you can save €3 if you buy online. Otherwise, Palau Guell, one of Gaudi’s much earlier buildings, is a little more budget-friendly (€12) and has free entry on the first Sunday of the month.
    Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion about Casa Milà. The next time you come to Barcelona don’t miss this building, as you will be able to appreciate every area and detail of the last civil work of Gaudí, and also to understand and gain a deep knowledge of the work of the architect. For future visits we recommend you to buy your tickets online on the official website of La Pedrera. With the online ticket you will avoid queuing and processing fees. A total of 4,500 m2 can be visited, spread over five floors: Butterfly and Flower Courtyard, Whale Attic (Gaudí Exhibition), Tenants’ Apartment, Warrior Rooftop and the Milà Family’s Apartment (Art Exhibition). The only areas that cannot be visited are the private homes and offices that remain in the building. Sincerely,

    Expensive but worth it, just
    Of the two Guadi houses near each other we preferred this one, there’s more to see and the smart audio guide works well sensing where you are in the building. The rooms that are furnished and decorated give more of a sense of these buildings as they were originally used and help date them. I still find €50 for two people to have a look round a building a bit ridiculous and I’d never repeat visit at that price but I guess they have an endless supply of people who want to see it for the first time
    We are very glad that you have enjoyed your visit to Casa Milà. La Pedrera is the only exhibition space in Barcelona devoted to all Gaudí’s work. In total you can visit 4,500 m2 divided between five floors of the building, including the Warrior Rooftop, the Whale Attic (Gaudí Exhibition) Tenants’ Apartment, the Courtyards and the Milà Family’s Apartment (Art Exhibition). We also want to inform you that La Pedrera, as part of Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation, assigns the proceeds of the ticket entrance to social, environmental, educational and cultural projects.

    I loved the Attic
    Barcelona is full of houses, parks and monuments built by Gaudi and it is impossible to visit every one of them in a few days. La Pedrera ( meaning they Quarry, a name given to it by the inhabitants of the city) was our choice and it proved to be very interesting especially because of the very unusual and beautiful attic. The house is at a junction on Passeig de Gràcia and looks beautiful with its nice form and the balconies with interesting iron decorations. The terrace is nice with the interesting and symbolic chimneys, however if you have problems with your knees, it is difficult because you are constantly climbing or going down the stairs. There is an elevator that takes you to the terrace but be careful going around if you have health problems. The auto guide explains everything very well. The furnished apartment gives you a good idea about the period. There is a nice short video here as well. If you would like to use the elevator going down 4-5 floors, be careful not to miss it. The free photo is NOT free, just a tourist trap, the first photo is 10 euros, the second one is free!!! The museum shop is excellent with nice books and objects.

Great to see inside this unusual building. The roof is particularly quirky. We also did the vr experience which made a nice varied visit. Would thoroughly recommend going inside this building as well as admiring it from the street.

The facade is fabulous and you really should see it but the tour is a disappointment. The interior spaces are full, the tour spends ages in the attic and the audioguide is boring.
The “full experience “ adds an augmented reality tour of some additional rooms but failed to add any more information.
My advice is to visit the excellent Casa Batllo, Casa Amatller, and view La Pedrera from the street, but don’t waste time and money on a tour.

We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that La Pedrera is the only exhibition space in Barcelona dedicated to all of Gaudí's work, where you can understand all the elements that inspired the architect and the architectural foundations that he applied to all his buildings.

La Pedrera (Casa Mila) is a masterpiece outside. However, only the attic and the roof are really interesting during the inside visit.

This is a must go...it's an amazing work of Gaudi. You even get to take a picture professionally in there with props given. I suggest to go after 4pm as the crowd was less. The rooftop had amazing views!

This attraction is very professionally done. It teaches you the background of Anthony Gaudi as well as the underlying engineering construction of La Casa Pedrera. We toured this before La Familia Sagrada which added immensely to the La Familia Sagrada tour. This tour is a must see.

The house is beautiful. I felt very calm and safe within it. A high vibrational location. What a place to call your home. Many great insights into Gaudi’s thought processes.

The whole journey started with taking the lift all the way directly to the 6th floor. Then you will walk anti-clockwise to go through one apartment, followed with green screen photoshoot both and gift shop. Going up one more floor to the attic, where there is a Gaudi exhibition. The roof has amazing view towards the Main Street Pg. de Gracia and you can look down to the atrium of this residential block. Probably because this one is not as other private bespoke houses for wealthy people, the interior is not as stunning as other Gaudi’s houses. The overall architecture and structural design is gorgeous though!
