The Butterfly Courtyard Shines Again

After 9 months of restoration work, the Butterfly Courtyard is once again open to visitors! La Pedrera is more than 100 years old, so the passage of time, rain and air pollution inevitably cause deterioration to the building.

For this reason, restoration work has been carried out in the Butterfly Courtyard, also known as the Provença Courtyard, including cleaning, structural repairs and the recovery of original textures, colours and decorative elements such as stuccoes, paintings and polychrome finishes from Gaudí’s work.

The works included the inspection of stucco finishes, treatment of metal elements, waterproofing of the water collection channel and the rooftop’s horizontal surfaces. The restoration plan also included metalwork, carpentry and the conservation of the polychrome paintings, among other tasks.

The Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera, which manages Casa Milà, continues its commitment to preserving and safeguarding this heritage site.
