I ordered a ticket from home, via the Internet. Website http://www. lapedrera. com/ca/informaci%C3%B3-al-visitant Price per visit + audio guide = 20.50 euros (2014 value)
Initially, the opinion of the people of Barcelona about the new house was not too high, Mila's house immediately received the nickname "Pedrera" (La Pedrera - quarry) for its memorable uneven and heavy facade.
The building is a reinforced concrete structure with load-bearing columns without supporting walls. In order not to “cut” the room into pieces, Gaudí came up with his own unsupported ceiling system. It wasn't until 100 years later that a computer program appeared capable of performing such calculations. This is a NASA program that calculates space flight trajectories.
Inspection begins from the roof of the house. The combination of conical towers and bizarrely shaped twisted columns, decorated with ceramic tiles, creates an illusory impression.
Furnace chimneys, similar to harsh guards, hiding their faces under the hoods of raincoats - an absolutely abstract landscape ....A real sculpture park!
The attic area is equipped as a mini-museum. Here you can see the vaults holding the roof. There are also models of the House of Mila and showcases with sources of inspiration for the architect: various fruits, fruits and other items of natural origin. And the apartment on the sixth floor of the building is decorated in the style of the 20s of the 20th century.
