Address & directions Casa Mila (La Pedrera) TICKETS La Pedrera DAY visit  "Casa Milà", commonly known as "la Pedrera", is a unique building in Barcelona. It was built from 1906 to1912 by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) La Pedrera was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984 along with other Gaudí works.  Today Casa Mila houses the main offices of the Fundació Caixa Catalunya, which is a a cultural foundation. Visitors to the building can see the patios, the Espai Gaudí (attic and roof-terrace) and the Pedrera apartment.  The Casa Mila house was commissioned by Pere Milà, who was married to a rich widow, Mrs. Roser Segimon. They wanted to live in a spectacular house on the most cosmopolitan avenue of the Barcelona of the time which was and still is, Passeig de Gràcia.  They chose Gaudí to as the architect of Casa Mila mostly because he had just renovated Batlló House also on Passeig de Gracia, which at the time was considered the height of modern architecture. Mr. Milà, however, wanted his house to be even better and more monumental.   Casa Mila is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in Barcelona.
