What you'll do
See one of Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces up close with a trip to La Pedrera.
This striking building was built between 1906 and 1912 and is noted for its unique shape and façade. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and cultural center, as well as a symbol of Catalan Modernisme, the Catalan Art Nouveau period.
There’s so much to see inside and out of this fascinating building. It’s known for its unique façade of undulating limestone which resulted in the ‘stone quarry’ moniker. See the large windows and intricate wrought-iron balconies, then head up to the roof terrace - one of the most spectacular parts of this building. You’ll see the imposing chimneys which are reminiscent of twisted, standing soldiers, along with six stepping skylights.
Due to the building’s conceptual design, Gaudí created furniture, especially for Casa Milá. You’ll see the modernist style up close, fitting perfectly into the curves and waves of the walls and rooms that Gaudi designed.
Your ticket to La Pedrera also includes a free kid's audio guide to make exploring the building fun and exciting for little ones. The unique and innovative commentary will introduce boys and girls to the world of architecture and is available in Catalan, Spanish, English, Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Korean.

Facts

La Pedrera earned a place on the World Heritage Site list in 1984.
La Pedrera was designed to be a spiritual symbol of the Catholic religion, with an excerpt from the Rosary prayer on the cornice and planned statues of Mary, specifically Our – Lady of the Rosary, and two archangels, St. Michael and St. Gabriel.
The roof terrace is decorated in a mosaic of marble and broken Valencian tiles, as well as broken glass from champagne bottles.
