The Casa Milà, or La Pedrera to locals, is one of the best modernist houses in Barcelona. Located on Passeig de Gràcia on the corner of Provenza street, this great house made by Antoni Gaudí is the most visited house in Barcelona.
Its design is visually appealing, with a stone facade that is not too dissimilar to the waves of the Mediterranean sea and it was built between 1906 - 1910. If you enter this wonderful house, you will be amazed by its interior too. Go to the top of the roof and meet the stone warriors who will not take their eyes off you, as they are the eternal guardians of the building.
You will see long queues to enter this masterpiece by Antoni Gaudí. We recommend that you rent an apartment in Barcelona close to La Pedrera, this way you can visit earlier and not have to queue for so long. Furthermore, you will see other great modernist houses on Passeig de Gracia like Casa Batllo, Casa Ametller, and Casa Lleo Morera. Staying in an apartment in Barcelona near La Pedrera is also a good option because Passeig de Gracia is the most commercial street in Barcelona and leads directly to Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas. Furthermore, there are great restaurants, bars, and nightclubs in this area.
