La Pedrera Essencial

Visit Casa Milà, commonly known as La Pedrera (the Stone Quarry), and get a deep appreciation for one of the most innovative works by the architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1962).

Its spectacular facade and original roof-terrace makes it one of the outstanding buildings of the 20th century. Built between 1906 and 1912, it is a landmark in the city of Barcelona. It was declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1984.

 

Description:

---

The visit includes four of the building’s most important areas:

• The Roof-Terrace, with its sinuous forms and changes in level. This is one of Gaudí’s most groundbreaking spaces. The stairwells and magically shaped chimneys are eye-catching features that have become iconic symbols of Gaudí and Barcelona.

• The Espai Gaudí, located in one of the most distinctive spaces designed by Gaudí, the attic in La Pedrera. It houses the only exhibition dedicated to Gaudí’s life and work, showcasing the architect’s creations through scale models and plans, objects and designs, photographs and videos.

• The Pedrera Apartment recreates an early 20th century bourgeois family apartment, which gives us an insight into the way they lived. It is furnished with period furniture and household equipment of the period and decorative elements designed by Gaudí.

• The Courtyards, which illustrate Gaudí’s innovations, and show how nature inspired the entire building.
