La Pedrera Tickets, Roof Terrace and Opening Hours

La Pedrera, officially Casa Milà, is a Modernista building by Antoni Gaudí at Passeig de Gràcia, 92, in the Eixample district. Visitors go for the roof terrace, the attic and an exhibition on Gaudí’s work. General tickets start from €25, and the building is open every day of the year except Dec. 25.

According to Barcelona.cat, the building is privately owned by the Fundació Catalunya-La Pedrera (the foundation that manages it), and it is accessible for people with physical disabilities.

What is La Pedrera and why do people visit?

Casa Milà was finished in 1910 for the wealthy Milà family, who wanted to live on Passeig de Gràcia like many well-off families of the period. Gaudí was working in his naturalist phase, and the house follows the organic shapes of nature, with undulating forms and volumes. Its geometric lines are straight lines that together make curved planes.

The popular name, “the quarry,” began as a joke. Some locals gave it to mock the extravagant and gloomy look of the main facade, according to Barcelona.cat. People come to see the decorated facades, the exhibition and, above all, the roof.

What is on the roof terrace?

The roof terrace has 30 chimneys that represent petrified warriors, forming an open-air sculpture garden. The foundation keeps the roof and the attic open to the public. The attic holds an exhibition on Gaudí and his work. Some of the flats in the building are private, and the main one has been turned into an exhibition hall.

What are the opening hours?

Hours change with the season, based on the timetable published by Barcelona.cat:

Nov. 2 to Dec. 25: every day, 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The building is closed on Dec. 25.
Dec. 26 to Jan. 3: every day, 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., except Jan. 1, when it opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 8:30 p.m.
Jan. 4 to March 5: every day, 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
March 6 to Nov. 1: every day, 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Visitors can enter up to half an hour before closing. Because the current period runs from Nov. 2 to Dec. 25, the closing time right now is 6:30 p.m., which makes the last entry 6 p.m.

How much do tickets cost?

The daytime price list on the Barcelona.cat page is as follows:

General ticket: from €25.
Reduced ticket: €19, for students with a student card, people with a documented disability and people over 65.
Junior ticket for ages 12 to 17: €12.50.
Free: children up to 12 and official guides.

The price includes the audioguide service. Ticket office prices are €1 more per person, so the page implies buying ahead is cheaper at the desk by that amount. Groups of more than 10 people must book in advance.

Are there discounts, and is there a price for Catalonia residents?

Several discounts apply to the general ticket:

20% off with the BCN Card, which brings the price to €16.40.
20% off with a Ruta del Modernisme ticket, also €16.40.
20% off for members of the Club TR3SC, also €16.40.

Residents of Catalonia have their own daytime prices: €12.50 for adults and €6 for juniors. Residents must show a valid DNI or NIE (Spanish identity card or foreigner identification number) at the ticket office. If you have just arrived, the free things to do in Barcelona are a lower-cost way to fill the rest of the day.

A short history of the building

According to Wikipedia, Casa Milà was built between 1906 and 1912 and was the last private residence Gaudí designed. Pere Milà and his wife Roser Segimon commissioned it in 1906. Its innovations include a self-supporting stone facade, a free-plan floor, an underground garage and the roof terrace. UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in 1984, and since 2013 the Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera has run visits, exhibitions and cultural and educational activities there.
