About Casa Milà
A building with NO straight lines? Casa Milà is that architectural rebel designed by Gaudí's whimsy. Pillars, arches replace walls, creating illusionary floor designs. The interior, featuring an exhibition of Gaudí's works, a model apartment from the 1920s, and the stunning rooftop terrace, offers insight into Barcelona's modernist movement.
Attic turned museum: Located in the attic of La Pedrera, you'll discover the Espai Gaudí, Barcelona's only interpretation center dedicated to Gaudí's whole body of work. You may find information on his architectural style and the things that influenced him here.
A master's craft: Casa Milà boasts Gaudí's signature naturalistic architecture, a feat so astounding that not a single right angle graces it. Inside, walls glide effortlessly, a feat achieved by Gaudí's concrete-steel construction, eliminating the need for load-bearing walls—a revolutionary concept echoed in today's modern office buildings. The balconies resemble ocean waves from afar.
Beauty that never sleeps: Passeig de Gràcia hosts a unique light art piece that brings La Pedrera to life at night. Gaudí's Pedrera: The Origins is an interactive exhibit that uses lighting to illuminate various portions of the structure, brightening up the ideas for its design. Having supper in the building is an option, and you can cap it all off with a glass of cava.
Is that...Darth Vader?: The terrace towers of Casa Mila may recall fans of Darth Vader! La Pedrera influenced George Lucas, rumours have it. Is it true? Although no reliable source has corroborated this, the parallels are striking. In fact, almost fifteen movies have been filmed there!
From a design standpoint, the absence of straight lines (and walls) was exciting and quite innovative, but many inhabitants complained that their furniture didn't fit in the oddly shaped rooms. Roser even protested to Gaudí about the lack of a straight wall for her Steinway piano. Gaudí apparently advised her to take up the violin instead.
