One of the most interesting sights of Barcelona, created by Antonio Gaudi. The house was built by order of the spouses Mila, who planned to rent out part of the rooms. Gaudi used the concept of a "moving mountain" during construction, so the lines of the building seem alive and "flowing". The house is considered one of the spiritual symbols of the city. Today, people live in one of its parts, and the upper floors are given over to the museum.

The Casa Mila is also phenomenal, as is everything about it - the architecture, the way it was built, the aesthetics, the interior, the roof, which is beautiful, unique and fantastic for great photos.
To all of you who are planning to visit, I strongly suggest that you buy tickets in advance because there are huge crowds in the season (as for every other attraction in Barcelona), and if you are able to spare a little more money, I strongly advise you to pay for this sunrise tour with a guide, because with that small group of ten people you will be the only ones in the whole house, which is ideal for great photos and a peaceful tour! The tour starts at 8 am and lasts about an hour. That way, just when the doors open for all the other visitors, you have finished your tour and can go on to visit the other attractions that this fantastic city has to offer.

Casa Milà (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazə miˈla], [ˈkasa miˈla]), popularly known as La Pedrera (pronounced [ɫə pəˈðɾeɾə]) or "The stone quarry", a reference to its unconventional rough-hewn appearance, is a modernist building in .. Read more »Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was the last private residence designed by architect Antoni Gaudí and was built between 1906 and 1912.
Casa Milà is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Works of Antoni Gaudí". It was a predecessor of some buildings with a similar biomorphic appearance:
the 1921 Einstein Tower in Potsdam, designed by Erich Mendelsohn
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan, New York, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright
Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut, Ronchamp, France, designed by Le Corbusier
the Hundertwasserhaus and other works by Austrian architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser
Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, by Frank Gehry
Free exhibitions often are held on the first floor, which also provides some opportunity to see the interior design. There is a charge for entrance to the apartment on the fourth floor and the roof. The other floors are not open to visitors.
Constructive similarities
Gaudí's La Pedrera was inspired by a mountain, but there is no agreement as to which mountain was the reference model. Joan Bergós thought it was the rocks of Fray Guerau in Prades mountains. Joan Matamala thought that the model could have been St. Miquel del Fai, while the sculptor Vicente Vilarubias believed it was inspired by the cliffs Torrent Pareis in Menorca. Other options include the mountains of Uçhisar in Cappadocia, suggested by Juan Goytisolo, or Mola Gallifa, suggested by Louis Permanyer, based on the fact that Gaudí visited the area in 1885 to escape an outbreak of cholera in Barcelona.
Some people say that the interior layout of La Pedrera comes from studies that Gaudí made of medieval fortresses. This image is reinforced by the seeming appearance of the rooftop chimneys as "sentinels" with great helmets. The structure of the iron door in the lobby does not follow any symmetry, straight or repetitive pattern. Rather, it evokes bubbles of soap that are formed between the hands or the structures of a plant cell.
