The stone quarry that breathes — where not a single line is straight
Apartment building in Barcelona, designed by Antoni Gaudí.
Visitor Guide
The rooftop warrior chimneys are the highlight. Go for the evening light show experience if available — the projections on the interior courtyard are stunning.
From across Passeig de Gràcia to capture the full undulating façade. On the roof, photograph the chimney warriors against the sunset sky.
Open daily. Premium night visits available with rooftop projections. Book online — the rooftop alone is worth the ticket.
The entire building uses a free-plan structure — stone columns and iron beams with no load-bearing walls. Every apartment has a unique floor plan. The parking garage was designed before the car was common in Barcelona.

Design & Structure
Gaudí designed with 1:10 plaster models, sculpting forms that followed natural load paths. The iron structure uses catenary arches in the attic — visible on the tour. No blueprints: craftsmen worked from models and Gaudí's on-site direction.
Limestone façade from Garraf quarries, wrought-iron balconies, catenary brick arches in the attic. The undulating stone was hand-carved on site to Gaudí's specifications.
