About this experience

Explore Antoni Gaudi's most iconic work of civic architecture: La Pedrera, also known as Casa Milà.
"La Pedrera" means "the quarry", because it resembles an open quarry in appearance.

Together thanks to your passionate, local guide, you’ll learn all about the Calatan architect, strolling through the apartments, whale attic and flower courtyard.

Then step outside and walk along Passeig de Gracia admiring Casa Amatller and Gaudì’s Casa Batlló.
You can add tickets to explore the latter freely.

Casa Batlò is locally known as "Casa dels ossos" (House of Bones) because of the skeletal appearance conveyed by its structure.

Visit this Art Nouveau building and get the chance to closely admire its irregular windows, its sculpted floral decorations and the colorful mosaics that almost entirely embellish the building's façade.

Notice the references that Gaudí makes to the natural world as well as those related to Catalonia's history and identity.
