Butterfly Courtyard / La Pedrera - Casa Milà
The Flower and the Butterfly Courtyards
Living nature in full colour
On the Flower Courtyard (in Passeig de Gràcia) and the Butterfly Courtyard (in Carrer Provença), you will discover two large open courtyards that organise the entire floorplan in an organic manner. Vehicles would enter via the main doors of Casa Mila, pass through the interconnecting courtyards and make their way down the ramp to the basement. The unusual feature of these courtyards is the arrangement of the windows, which facilitate natural lighting and ventilation to the apartments. On the walls are murals in every colour, featuring floral motifs, scenes from myths and legends and polychrome details. Once again, the inspiration of the architect Gaudi drew from nature reveals itself in this building.
