What will you see?
The Flower Courtyard
In full colour
The walls of the Flower Courtyard, in Passeig de Gràcia, are a real spectacle of shapes, light and colours contrasting with the sober facade. The colour is provided by the wall paintings decorating it, mostly with floral motifs. Hundreds of flowers come to life on the ceiling of the spectacular staircase that climbs up to the main floor like a winding root.

The Gaudi Room and Auditorium
The former coach house
Gaudi designed the basement as a services area that would hold the garage, storage spaces and the heating machinery. In fact, in his first project for Casa Mila, in 1906, the architect already planned to use the basement as a car park, which was one of the first in Barcelona. The former coach house is today the Auditorium (which opened in 1994) and the Gaudi Room, two spaces reached via the ramp designed for vehicle access, which drops a total of 4.7 metres.

The Warrior Rooftop
A unique achievement that defies classification
There are magnificent 360º views of the city of Barcelona to be had in the company of the knights that stand atop the building. The Warrior Rooftop of Casa Mila is a unique space that bears no resemblance to the architecture of Gaudi’s day. The various elements, of tremendous artistic force and intended for a preconceived purpose, are situated in such a way that they follow the shape and rhythm of the undulating façade, and they are faced with trencadís: pieces of broken pottery, stone, marble and glass used to cover curving surfaces. La Pedrera is regarded as one of the most notable buildings of the 20th century due to the spectacular nature of its façade and the originality of the rooftop.

The Whale Attic
Discover Gaudí in a magical space
This space of Casa Mila, formed by 270 catenary arches made of thin brick that call to mind the skeleton of a whale, houses the only exhibition given over to Gaudí and his entire body of work. Situated in the attic of Casa Mila, the Gaudí Exhibition was where the laundry sinks and storage spaces were once located. A tour of the Gaudí Exhibition provides an opportunity to learn in depth about Gaudi’s architectural work thanks to the models, plans, objects, designs, photographs and videos on display.

The Tenants’ Apartment
100 years of a living monument
This apartment in Casa Mila recreates the way a bourgeois family in Barcelona lived in the first 30 years or so of the 20th century. You will be able to see the interior distribution of a flat, with its spacious rooms, and the period furnishings intended to ensure the comfort of its residents, as well as the household utensils and equipment and the ornamental features that Gaudi designed: door knobs, handles, mouldings, doors and floors. In the apartment, you will also be able to watch a video that shows the modernisation of Barcelona in the opening quarter of the 20th century.

The rear façade
An unknown part of the building
The rear façade was restored in 2018 and is only visible from inside the courtyard of the other buildings around La Pedrera or from a small space accessed from the first floor.
This façade follows the style of Gaudí's entire building, with an undulating cocave.convex rhythm similar to that of the main façade.
The rear façade, unlike the main one, which is made of stone, is plastered with lime and cement with a reddish-brown colour.
The Butterfly Courtyard
Living nature
At the Milà House, the Butterfly Courtyard, which leads off Carrer Provença is a place where everything comes to life. It lives; it breathes, and fantastic creatives live there. The outstanding feature is a huge butterfly that has settled on the lintel between inside and the street: a huge swallowtail. Higher up, enveloping the staircase that leads to the main floor, another butterfly, or some kind of fantastic insect, is resting. A huge insect wing takes flight, perpetually turning a thousand different colours.
