Casa Milà - La Pedrera

You will not find a house like it in the world! This is the landmark Modernista civic building, criticised when it was built but today one of the city's most admired buildings.

At the Casa Milà, also known as the Pedrera (Quarry), you can take a close look at Antoni Gaudí's interior design. This is a gem of a building that imitates the shapes found in nature. Its façades, windows, doors, stairs, walls and living rooms, with their original furniture, create a dream world.

The terrace-roof and Woody Allen!

Don't forget to go up to the roof, a terrace with magically-shaped chimneys decorated with trencadís. It is one of Barcelona's most architecturally appealing spots, with beautiful views of the Eixample and the Sagrada Família. It was the set for one of the scenes in Woody Allen's film, Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona, which was shot in the city.
