The Pedrera has an undulating smooth surface of pale stone with Art nouveau rails in wrought iron.

Yet the most spectacular aspect could be the splendid terrace, comprising medieval knights designed from warm red stone, steep stone staircases and bottle-green and white mosaics. The faade is said to be tempting the viewer to gaze from the ground skywards a for the passage from the earth to heaven.

The north-western part of the town is the site of Gaudis Sagrada Familia (Plaa Sagrada Familia, solution 8, Metro 2 Violet, Sagrada Familia station), the final and unfinished work of the Catalan artist..

The building is intended to signify the endless and tortuous path of the individuals in their search for spirituality and God.
