What to see and do
Casa Milà is a masterpiece of Catalan modernism and a must-see for anyone who appreciates architecture. Here’s what you can explore during your visit:
The Patios
Casa Milà’s inner courtyards are a marvel of design, bringing natural light into the building. The courtyards also feature Gaudí’s signature ironwork and colorful murals, which contribute to the unique aesthetic of the building.
The Rooftop
The rooftop is one of Casa Milà’s most iconic features, renowned for its surreal chimneys and panoramic views of Barcelona. If you take the night tour, you’ll witness an impressive audiovisual show that illuminates the rooftop, creating a magical atmosphere.
The Attic
Known as the “Whale Attic” due to its unique catenary arches that resemble the ribcage of a whale, this space houses a permanent exhibition called “Espai Gaudí.” This exhibit delves into Gaudí’s architectural vision and the innovative techniques he used in his work.
The Main Floor
Once the luxurious residence of the Milà family, the main floor now hosts temporary exhibitions. These exhibits offer visitors insight into early 20th-century life in Barcelona and the design intricacies of Gaudí’s work.
Did you know? (Three Interesting Facts!)
- Even today, there are a few private apartments still occupied, while other parts of the building are used as offices.
- Gaudí wanted the building’s residents to interact and get to know each other, so he installed elevators only on every second floor to create more meeting opportunities.
- The nickname La Pedrera, meaning “the quarry,” was originally a derogatory term used by locals who were not accustomed to Gaudí’s unconventional architectural style.
