Casa Mila, Spain

Casa Milà, also known as La Pedrera or "The Stone Quarry," is a Modernista structure in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It is notable for its unusual rough-hewn look. It was erected between 1906 and 1912 and was the last private mansion created by architect Antoni Gaud.


Pere Milà and his wife Roser Segimon commissioned the structure in 1906. Josep Maria Jujol designed it, and it was controversial at the time because of its undulating stone exterior and twisting wrought-iron balconies. A self-supporting stone façade, a free-plan floor, an underground garage, and a stunning roof terrace are among the structural innovations.


UNESCO designated Casa Milà as a World Heritage Site in 1984. Since 2013, it has served as the headquarters of the Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera, which oversees the building's tours, exhibitions, and other cultural and educational events
