What to expect

La Pedrera, also known as Casa Milà, is a modernista building and a must-see visitor attraction in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, it was built between 1906 and 1912 and features a unique blend of fantasy and functionality. The building's façade resembles the moving sea, with curved, sinuous forms and stone blocks that cover the skeleton of the building. Visitors can explore the dreamlike attic space, the rooftop with its chimneys resembling warriors, and a period apartment. The building also hosts exhibitions, including 'Art in Stone', which features over 80 abstract works by 20th-century sculptors. La Pedrera is a great place to visit with family and friends, offering a unique and immersive experience

This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the wavy-fronted UNESCO-listed Casa Milà with its crazy chimneys and glorious city views

Highlights: My sons loved the topsy-turvy rooftop and scampered around with joy. We also enjoyed the exhibition of items that inspired Gaudí’s designs – the boys were intrigued to find that parts of his buildings were based on the forms of snakes, sea snails and sponges ✨
