Casa Mila — La Pedrera • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to Casa Mila, standing proudly at the intersection of Passeig de Gracia and Carrer de Provenca. As you look up, you might notice that there is not a single straight line in sight. This undulating mass of limestone was designed by the legendary architect Antoni Gaudi between nineteen hundred and six and nineteen hundred and twelve. While today it is celebrated as a masterpiece, the local residents of the early twentieth century were far more skeptical. They mocked its rough-hewn, jagged appearance, giving it the nickname La Pedrera, which means The Stone Quarry in Catalan. Imagine the shock of the neighbors seeing this organic, waving wall of stone rising among the traditional, rigid buildings of the Eixample district. You are looking at the final private residence Gaudi ever designed before he dedicated his entire life to the construction of the Sagrada Familia. This is not just a house; it is a declaration of independence from the rules of traditional architecture.
