Editing Casa Milà (section)

===Design disagreements===
Gaudí's relations with Segimon deteriorated during the construction and decoration of the house. There were many disagreements between them, one example being the monumental bronze virgin del Rosario, which Gaudí wanted as the statue on the front of the building in homage to the name of the owner, that the artist Carles Mani i Roig was to sculpt. The statue was not made although the words "''Ave gratia M plena Dominus tecum''" were written at the top of the facade. Continuing disagreements led Gaudí to take Milà to court over his fees. The lawsuit was won by Gaudí in 1916, and he gave the 105,000 pesetas he won in the case to charity, stating that "the principles mattered more than money." Milà was having to pay the mortgage.<ref Name=huertas/>

After Gaudí's death in 1926, Segimon got rid of most of the furniture that Gaudí had designed and covered over parts of Gaudí's designs with new decorations in the style of [[Louis XVI]]. La Pedrera was acquired in 1986 by {{ill|Caixa Catalunya|ca||es}} and when restoration was done four years later, some of the original decorations re-emerged.<ref Name=permanyer/>

When the [[Spanish Civil War|Civil War]] broke out in July 1936, the Milàs were on vacation. Part of the building was collectivized by the [[Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia]]; the Milàs fled the area with some artwork.<ref Name=huertas/>
