Fodor's Review:

Gaudí's Casa Milà, usually referred to as La Pedrera (The Stone Quarry), has a curving stone facade that bobs around the corner of the block. When the building was unveiled, in 1905, residents weren't enthusiastic about the cavelike balconies. Don't miss Gaudí's rooftop chimney park, especially in late afternoon, when the sunlight slants over the city into the Mediterranean. The handsome Espai Gaudí (Gaudí Space) in the attic has excellent critical displays of Gaudí's works, theories, and techniques, including an upside-down model of the Sagrada Família made of hanging beads. The Pis de la Pedrera, a restored apartment, gives an interesting glimpse into the life of its resident family in the early 20th century. Guided tours are offered weekdays at 6 PM and weekends at 11 AM.

  • Cost: EUR 8.50
  • Open: Daily 9-6:30; guided tours weekdays at 6PM, weekends at 11AM. Espai Gaudí roof terrace open for drinks evenings June-Sept.
  • Metro: Diagonal, Provença
