Casa Milà (La Pedrera)
Largest Abstract Sculpture in the World
Back to Casa Milà (La Pedrera)
It was the 1st Gaudi's masterpiece that we visited in Barcelona and it was a very good start for exploring his art. The building is very distinctive from the outside. The interiors are oustanding as well. I particularly liked pieces of furniture and little details that make you think that you're in the 19th century

You can't claim to have seen Barcelona without taking an up-close look at Gaudi's work. From the outside, I wasn't very impressed by Casa Mila/ La Pedrera -- it seemed almost grotesque to me. It's only when you enter the show apartment (furnished as it would have been in the early 1900s) that you appreciate Gaudi's genius. The rooms really flow into each other, and have wonderful natural light. I have no particular interest in architecture, but it was fascinating to see how well the space is used.

Casa Mila was pretty cool on the outside but on the inside is pretty much a museum. You get a headset and you have someone tell you the history of La Pedrera. It's pretty cool but I really liked the outside structure. That Gaudi was a strange man.

It was just amazing to realize that this building is almost 100 yrs old. It doesn't look like it was built so long ago. Gaudi was truly ahead of his time.

The facade is all Gaudi, with balconies made of flowing, twisted iron. The roof top affords a great view of Barcelona.

The highlight of Casa Mila is the specacular view from the roof. There are granite structures on the top that resemble heads with helmets watching over the city. On a clear day, you can see the coast, the Sagrada Familia, Tibidabo, the mountains, and all of Barcelona. An even more amazing Gaudi building, Casa Batllo, lies across the street and a few blocks toward Plaza Catalunya. Don't miss either one.

In the middle of Barcelona is La Pedrera. A beautiful show piece of Antoni Gaudi. Please walk to this location as on the way there are many intersing things along the way to see and experience especially the tiling on the sidewalks etc.

We had the best time roaming the roof of this Gaudi masterpiece. I kid you not, I think we spent hours on the roof alone, and I probably took at least fifty pictures.
