About This Activity

Casa Milà, nicknamed La Pedrera (The Quarry) for its wave-like stone facade, is Gaudí's last secular work before devoting himself entirely to the Sagrada Família. The building's rooftop is its defining feature — a surreal landscape of twisted chimneys and ventilation towers resembling medieval knights. The attic displays exhibits on Gaudí's structural innovations while a period apartment shows how wealthy Barcelonans lived in 1906. Standard entry with audio guide starts at €29; night experience tickets run around €39. Book online to avoid queues.

Seasonal note: Year-round; evening concerts on the rooftop run from June to August.
