Casa Milà, designed by Antoni Gaudí and built between 1906 and 1912, is located on Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona's Eixample district. Initially controversial, the structure is now celebrated as a masterpiece of Catalan modernism. It represents a blend of Art Nouveau and future architectural innovation and embodies Gaudí's vision of organic architecture that harmonizes with nature and cultural contexts. Casa Milà is regarded as a pivotal work in establishing Gaudí's legacy, leading to his later commitment to La Sagrada Família.
"Casa Milà is more than just a building, it represents a philosophical shift toward architecture that integrates nature, symbolism, and spirituality," says Hillary Morales Robles.
This structure was Gaudí's last major project before he devoted himself entirely to his magnum opus, La Sagrada Família.
Casa Milà solidified Gaudí's reputation as a visionary: It's a masterpiece of Catalan modernism, straddling the 19th century Art Nouveau movement and the future of modern architecture.
Originally fraught with controversies, Casa Milà is now recognized as one of Gaudí's greatest works due to its innovative design.
