La Pedrera (Casa Milà): Skip-the-Line Tickets

Gaudí's last private residential commission, completed in 1912 — known locally as "La Pedrera" (the stone quarry) for its rough wave-shaped limestone facade. UNESCO World Heritage. The rooftop chimneys, called "warriors" or "espantabruixes" (witch scarers), are the iconic image. The attic houses the Espai Gaudí, a permanent exhibition explaining how he designed buildings using catenary models and natural forms.
