La Pedrera (Casa Milà)

La Pedrera (Casa Milà) is Antoni Gaudí’s last civic work and a standout of Catalan Modernisme on Barcelona’s Passeig de Gràcia. Completed in 1912, its undulating stone façade and wrought-iron balconies conceal a light-filled courtyard plan and innovative, column-free interiors. The sculptural rooftop—with chimneys resembling abstract sentinels—offers panoramic city views and insight into Gaudí’s structural ingenuity. Inside, exhibits explain the building’s design, construction, and context, while a furnished apartment evokes early 20th-century life. Visit for architecture, design history, and a distinctive rooftop experience; skip if crowds or higher admission fees are a concern.
