Gaudí’s ideas started the way of thinking about architecture for a whole generation. His influence on Catalan modernism was immense, creating a unique style that many have tried to replicate. It is difficult to find a person who does not know Gaudí at least by his name. Of the 10 Gaudi attractions in Barcelona, 7 are declared a UNESCO heritage site, we will find Casa Mila Barcelona.
Casa Milá was Antonio Gaudí’s last residential building before focusing all his energy on the Sagrada Familia. Gaudí built Casa Milá between 1906 and 1912, in the heart of the city of Barcelona. Also known as La Pedrera, it is visited by more than a million tourists each year. In this article we explain everything you need to know before buying your Casa Milá tickets.
There are four ways to experience Casa Milá. More than 90% of visitors opt for the Casa Milá daytime tour, which is the cheapest way to explore the masterpiece. If you want something romantic, check out the Casa Milá nightlife experience. The Barcelona attraction also offers a premium ticket, allowing you to walk as you please, and a guided tour, where you will experience hidden areas of the building.
The original name of the house was Casa Milá, in honor of the owners, the Mila family. But the locals gave it a nickname: La Pedrera. Casa Milá is a UNESCO World Heritage site and attracts more than one million visitors each year. They seem to think Casa Mila was worth it. Once Casa Milá was built, neighbors found the building so distasteful that they stopped talking to the owners.
They thought the ugly-looking building would drive down their property prices. Some publications also published satires about Casa Milá. The cartoons mocking Gaudí and his last building were published when the building was ready. La Pedrera tickets are cheaper than Casa Batlló tickets. An excellent tour of Casa Milá will take you around three hours. We believe that an entry of € 24 for three hours of Gaudí’s work is worth it.
Tickets to Casa Milá also include access to two different areas of the Museum: the Espai Gaudí and the Pedrera Apartment. In the Gaudí Room you learn about the architect, and in the Pedrera Apartment, you can see how wealthy families lived in the 20th century. Worth it! Casa Milá was the last house Antoni Gaudí built before focusing exclusively on the Sagrada Familia.
