For more detailed information on this building read http://www.gaudiallgaudi.com/AA009.htm, but I wanted to add that it is very beautiful and that the highlight is definetly the roof.
We spent more than an hour there as the view was very nice and the "sentinel" chimneys are very photogenic (see the travelogue for more pictures).
The best part, however, was that we went at the end of the day. The colours are just amazing! I would really recommend planning the visit to coincide with sunset (of course, an hour or so before to take pictures and then to enjoy it)

The entrance fee is 7 EUR and I liked this building more than Casa Batllo, the other famous Gaudi on Paseig de Gracia

Address: Passeig de Gràcia 92, Carrer Provenca 261
