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
