La Pedrera — Casa Milà
About
Gaudí's last civilian building (1912), nicknamed 'La Pedrera' (the quarry) for its undulating stone facade. The rooftop terrace — populated by warrior-chimney sculptures — is one of the most photographed spots in Barcelona. The exhibition on Gaudí's working methods inside is excellent.
AI Review Summary
Generated from guest reviews of La Pedrera — Casa Milà
The rooftop is the highlight: the warrior chimneys are extraordinary and the panorama of the Eixample grid stretching to the sea is unforgettable. The apartment interior shows how Gaudí designed for daily life as well as spectacle. The night visits are particularly atmospheric.

The rooftop soldiers are one of the most unexpected and brilliant things I have ever seen. Gaudí was a genius.
Slightly less flashy than Casa Batlló but in many ways more interesting. The Gaudí exhibition is excellent.
The night visit is spectacular. The roof at dusk with the chimneys silhouetted against the sky is magical.
