Barcelona cable car to the Montjuïc castle
The Telefèric de Montjuïc is an unforgettable way to travel to the castle of the Montjuïc. The cable car connects the city with the top of Montjuïc hill. To achieve that, the cable car rises 84.5 metres over a distance of 750 metres. The Montjuïc offers a spectacular view of Barcelona. The castle was built in 1640, and a military museum has used the castle since 1960.
You can walk near and around the Barcelona castle for free. You do have to buy a ticket for the military exhibit. The Barcelona cable car has three stations: Parc de Montjuïc, Miramar and Castell de Montjuïc.
Castell de Montjuïc
In 1640, at the start of the Catalan revolution, the first foundation of the Barcelona castle was laid on Montjuïc hill, being constructed around the old lighthouse. The original fort was replaced by the current castle between 1751 and 1779. The process was led by military architect Juan Martín Cermeño. The Montjuïc castle consisted of four bastions and the main entrance is a bridge across the moat. Later the castle was to serve as a place of torture, military prison, and execution sight for political opponents of Franco during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) including the execution of president Lluís Companys in 1940. The entry price of the Barcelona castle also includes an exhibit about the history of the fort. If you haven’t come to learn about the fort’s cruel history, you can just enjoy one of the best panoramic views of Barcelona.

Barcelona has 2 cable cars and 3 mountain trains (called funiculars) Most are on Barcelona’s two biggest hills which are called Montjuic hill and Tibidabo hill.
Both are fun to visit for the spectacular city views. A mountain funicular train is designed for short and steep hills. It usually has a top station and a base station.
It has two passenger carriages which are pulled or lower on a slope by the same cable which loops over a pulley wheel at the top station.

From Barceloneta beach you can take a short exciting cable car ride over the old port right to the foot of Montjuic.
This cable car, called El Teleférico del Puerto (Port cable car), was opened back in 1931. The construction of the cable car was planned for the 1929 World’s Fair, so that visitors could get from the port to the exhibition pavilions and back.
By the way, in Barcelona there is another, more modern, cable car on Mount Montjuic. It is called Teleférico de Montjuic and its cabins take tourists right up to the Montjuic fortress.
But tourists are more interested in the old port cable car, because its red trailers offer stunning views of Barcelona.
Port cable car in Barcelona
To go on such an unusual trip, you need to walk to the station on the tower of St. Sebastian (San Sebastián). It is easy to find, focusing on the building in the form of a large glass sail – the W Barcelona hotel. Then you will have to take the elevator to the landing site and sit in the cabin. The height of the tower is 78 meters, so landing is not for the faint of heart.
The entire cable car ride takes 8-10 minutes. From a cabin with a panoramic glazing the bewitching views open. A marina floats below, surrounded by dozens of restaurants and cafes; in the distance one can see old Catalan houses; streets and boulevards filled with cars and people; with the gaze of an experienced traveler, the statue of Columbus accompanies the cabin.
Port cable car in Barcelona
There are two red cabins on the route, one in each direction. Departure interval 15-20 minutes. Cabin capacity no more than 19man, so be prepared for queues.
The length of the cable car is 1300 meters. Height – from 50 to 100 meters above the ground. More precisely, above the surface of the water, because most of the way passes over the sea.
The cable car takes you to the foot of Montjuïc. From here you can reach the Fortress of Montjuïc, walk to the touristic La Rambla or walk to the Barcelona Maritime Museum.

Cable car in Barcelona: how to conquer Montjuic
The cable car in Barcelona, which takes you up to Montjuic, gives you the chance not only to comfortably overcome the path to the urban treasure with a complex of attractions, but also to enjoy the beauties of the capital of Catalonia.
Doubt aside – fantastic views of the skyscrapers, places of worship in Barcelona and other wonders from the cabin:
As you ride the cable car, you will see a panorama of the Collserola mountains, the amusement park on Tibidabo, the sea, the promenade – everything for which tourists fell in love with Barcelona.
When conquering Montjuic, one can see the delights of such a great project as the Sagrada Familia temple, to which Gaudí devoted decades of his life.
From the cable car you can admire the center of Barcelona, cast a glance at the Agbar Tower, Port Forum.
The Montjuïc cable car has been open to the public since 1970. In the middle of the last decade, the facility was reconstructed, as there was a need to increase technical and economic indicators. And as a result, the cable car has acquired 55 new cabins for residents and guests of Barcelona. Any of them can accommodate up to 8 people at the same time.
Montjuic cable car
This mode of transport allows you to reach Montjuic in less than 10 minutes. The distance covered is 752 m. The route of the cable car includes 3 stops.
Parc Montjuic
Near the station, everything that Montjuic appreciates from the Joan Miro Foundation to the National Museum of Barcelona is located near the station. Here you can see the village of Poble Espanyol, which combines the main cultural features of Spain.
Parc Monjuic is a stopover for people planning to take a closer look at the facilities built on Montjuic just in time for the Olympics 1992 years old
Mirador
The point where the Montjuic cable car stops next to the terrace equipped according to the canons of design. From it it is pleasant to admire the beauties of the port. Nearby is the botanical garden of Montjuic, captivating with the prospect of looking at the natural grace of Barcelona.
Barcelona cable car: Castell station
Stop at the top, close to Montjuïc fortress. Once the fortification was used for its intended purpose, contributing to the protection of order in Barcelona and its salvation from the invaders. However, now the cable car stops at a facility focused on modern culture and sports traditions. Of course, all the historical wealth of Montjuic is carefully guarded.
After getting off at the Castell station, travelers can have a bite to eat at the Torre d´Alta Mar restaurant, where every guest is welcome, no matter where they come from in Barcelona. In terms of the menu, the emphasis is on Catalan cuisine, which is famous for its seafood, expert serving of vegetables and pastries.
Way to the cable car
If you choose the subway, get off at Paral-lel station. Then you need to take the Montjuic funicular.
Buses 50, 55, 61 or 150 of the Barcelona public transport system will take you to your destination – the stop is named after the mountain. Do not forget that the cable car ride is only available at buying a separate ticket .
Schedule of transport to the top of Montjuic
From the beginning of the year until March, the cable car is available from 10:00 to 18:00. It is allowed to use it for an hour longer until the end of May. In summer and in the first month of autumn, the cable car in Barcelona operates until 21:00. In October – until 19:00. From November until the end of the year, you can climb Montjuic in cabins until 18:00.
In January, the cable car on the mountain, as well as the funicular operating here, is closed for maintenance checks and repairs. These procedures take about 20 days. As a result, a decision may be made to revise the schedule indicated just above.
To ensure that traffic to the treasures of Montjuic is not paralyzed, a bus is available from Barcelona’s Parallel metro station to the Parc Montjuic stop during the works. Then you can take the 150th, which will take you to the defensive fortress.

Plan the Perfect Casa Milà (La Pedrera) Visit in 2023 (Updated)
Casa Milà is the last mansion that Catalan wonder architect Antoni Gaudí designed before ultimately giving his life (quite literally) to the Sagrada Familia.
This modernist apartment block, also known as La Pedrera (Stone Quarry), gives new meaning to the phrase ‘chiseled out of stone’ – more than 1,000,000 tourists line up to visit Casa Mila every year.
With this Casa Mila guide I hope to show you why.
CASA MILA
Save €3.00 on my ticket
First things first: who designed Casà Mila?
This unconventional, modernist apartment block designed by master architect Antoni Gaudi was commissioned by the opulent industrialist Pere Milà in 1906.
I won’t delve into Gaudi’s mind too much, but this amazing video pretty much sums up his vision:
As you can see, this World Heritage Site has a unique, completely self-supportedlimestone façade and is a constant curve owing to Gaudi’s refusal to use straight lines.
It’s actually two different curved buildings structured around two courtyards. In fact, if you look at Casa Mila from aerial shots you’ll see that it’s an asymmetrical 8 shape.
See that jungle foliage reclaiming the concrete? That’s the vibrant, green Casa Mila ground floor.
All that said, Casa Milà is most famous for its rooftop terrace and its twisted, haunting chimneys called ‘The Garden of Warriors’ – which you may have seen in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, but more on that later.
What to See at Casa Milà
The Casa Milà Roof
There’s nothing like it! This is why most tourists buy Casa Mila tickets and put it at the top of any Barcelona itinerary.
The photo above doesn’t do it justice. My only advice is get the cameras ready – going out onto the Casa Mila rooftop is like stepping into an alternate reality.
The highlight is the wavy floors crawling up the walls giving way to 28 chimneys that look like carnival masks, Darth Vader, and the Grim Reaper all in one.
From here look down into the courtyard to see Gaudi’s constant curve vision – in some weird way the curves make Casa Mila look like wobbling jello.
The view of the city (and Sagrada Familia) from the La Pedrera roof is spectacular.
The Casa Milà Courtyard
Though Casa Mila was built as two individual apartment blocks it’s at the courtyards that the buildings intersect, or almost blend into each other like two waves of water.
The Casa Mila interior is speckled with floral motif murals that are lit up perfectly by the day. You’ll spend a lot of time looking up at the forms and taking pictures – aside from the roof this is the most photographed place in the whole building.
Inside Casa Milà (The Apartment)
The fourth floor of La Pedrera is home to two different dwellings, one of which is an audiovisual presentation room covering time period between the Tragic Week (1909) and the World’s Fair (1929).
Then there’s famous La Pedrera apartment where Pere Milà lived with his family.
The interior remains exactly the way it was the day he moved in – this is a great window into upper-class life (yes, that stove in the photo is upper class!) in the early part of last century.
The bedrooms, living room, bathroom, kitchen, and even the children’s toys remain creepily in tact, frozen in time.

The Casa Milà Attic
The La Pedrera attic originally housed the building’s laundry room.
Tourists love Casa Mila for the 270 parabolic arches that support the roof terrace above. They give it a slight claustrophobic and catacomb-like feel. One reader described it as a walk inside an undulating whale skeleton.
The area is now home to the Espai Gaudi – a museum to the great architect. Here you’ll find plastic models of his other famous works, art work, videos, and a great explanation/display of how Gaudi let Barcelona’s nature influence his work.
The Casa Mila attic is divided into seven different areas with one dedicated entirely to La Pedrera.
Casa Milà Tickets
Hourlyvisits to Casa Milaare capped so if you show up without Casa Mila tickets expecting to buy on site you’ll be forced into a later time slot than your original plans.
There is also a €3.00 ticket window surcharge per visitor.
For this reason, it’s essential to buy Casa Mila tickets using Tiqetsfor the lowest prices.

The closest Barcelona metro stop to Casa Mila is Diagonal (green line L3 or blue line L5).
RENFE Spanish railway: Passeig de Gracia.

Tips for Visiting Casa Milà
Buy Casa Mila tickets online to avoid long lines at ticket windows.
Leave around 1.5 hours for the tour of the interior + roof.
Go between 9:00 am and 10:00 am and after 4:30 pm for the smallest crowds.
Book your Casa Batllo tour for around the same time (they’re 5 minutes walking apart).
There is little information so I recommend paying an extra €3.00 for the Casa Mila Guided Tour.
Wear comfortable shoes because you’ll be doing a lot of stairs.
There is an elevator to the roof for those with mobility issues.
If there’s no line for the elevator start by taking it to the top and working your way down.
Visiting after 5:00 pm has better photography light and less crowds.
You can get 10% off Casa Mila tickets with the Bus Turistic.
Check the Barcelona weather forecast before booking – the rooftop is closed when it rains.

Restaurants Near Casa Milà
If you’re starving after all those stairs check out my list of best restaurants near La Pedrera.
For great traditional Catalan food hit either value paella spot Bodega Joan (Carrer Rosselló 164) or Can Punyetes (Carrer Francisco Giner 8-10). Both offer all the classic tapas dishes like tortilla de patatas, pan con tomate, paella, and more.
Those looking to spoil themselves should look at El Nacional – this high-end culinary space is home to 4 restaurants (meat, fish, tapas, and deli/pastry) and four bars (beer, wine, cocktail, oyster) each featuring different facets of the Iberian Peninsula.
UPDATE: I’ve just worked out a deal with Bodega Joan that offers my blog readers 25% off their paella tasting menu and you can find out all the juicy details clicking the banner below:

Casa Mila (commonly known as La Pedrera) is a modernist building – another of masterpiece works done by Antoni Gaudi.
It is located in Barcelona city center nearby to two other important Gaudi’s works – Casa Batllo and Casa Vicens.
As all of the works done by the famous architect, this one is quite special and unique too.
It’s unofficial name – La Pedrera=the stone quarry, explains how it was perceived back in the day due to it’s unconventional appearance.
The façade is composed of large blocks of limestone, shaped to resemble the sensation of movement of the ocean waves.
Iron railings on the windows and balconies are made from recycled scarp iron and, even though they follow the same concept and treatment, they are all different and have unique shape and design.
Looking from the street level, you can even see the sculptures on the roof terrace due to their size.
The building was commissioned by the family Mila (Pere Mila and his wife Roser Segimon) who bought the land in the most prestige neighborhood in Barcelona – Passeig de Gracia.
They wanted Gaudi (who was just finishing the reconstruction of the nearby Casa Batllo) to create a unique and artistic building that would stand out among other prestige buildings of the neighborhood.
So Gaudi, (aged 54 at that moment) started to work at his last civil work and the one that rose maybe the most critics and controversies.
Rocky façade, abstract design, functional and aesthetic liberty led by creativity at it’s best, made Casa Mila one of the most critiqued works of the famous architect.
And the critics were, in many cases, strongly negative.
There were cartoons and comics published depicting La Pedrera as a parking for airships, a bunker, a cave or even a house after an earthquake.
The press was full of negative comments and jokes on the architect and it’s latest work.
It seems that society was not prepared for such a radical work and daring constructive and decorative ideas.
Despite this initial lack of comprehension,
Casa Mila (La Pedrera) became one of the most recognizable and appreciated landmarks in the city.
Now, we can only admire this brave monumental architectonic sculpture and learn about the big, bright mind of it’s creator.
As a visitor, you can get inside and explore the house, floor by floor imagining how huge and radical was it’s appearance in Barcelona 1912… how huge and radical is even today… but just imagine it in the year 1912.
Due to it’s outstanding universal value it was declared as UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as the Monument of National Historical and Artistic Interest.
WHAT THERE IS INSIDE?
Gaudi’s Room – Former Garage
This space was projected as a service area, storage rooms, heating machine room and garage.
The Butterfly Courtyard
Here, you can see a patio well that rises up from the ground floor to the roof.
The patio walls are perforated with almost 200 windows that gets larger in size as they get lower down to make the most of the light that comes into the patio.
The circular silhouette of this interior patio is one of the most recognizable pictures of
La Pedrera as it never fails to fascinate visitors.
From this point the stairs lead to the upper floors but the tourist visit is designed in a way that, from the patio, you go (by elevator) straight to the roof terrace and then, visit the rest of the house coming down floor by floor.
So, from the patio the elevator will bring you to the Rooftop Terrace known also as the Warrior Rooftop.
This terrace is the highlight of the house and, also, one of the recognizable landmarks of Barcelona.
Rooftop Terrace
The terrace space gives an impression of an unique universe of shapes and textures with it’s famous chimneys, ventilation towers and stairwells that go far beyond their initial purpose.
The architect gave a higher, artistic and symbolic purpose to the objects that were, normally, not given any additional attention and were not serving any other than their functional purpose.
Chimneys and ventilation towers are not just robust object that should be hidden of the sight and do their work in silence, but are turned into the main stars of the show.
They become warriors, building guardians, brilliant sculptures that are raising from the roof of the building.
Where else could you admire the beauty of the chimney or ventilation tower?
Some of the sculptures and forms can be seen from the street level thanks to their size.
Chimneys on the terrace (sculptured in a form of warriors) are among Gaudi’s most admired designs – there are twenty eight chimneys in several groupings in the roof terrace.
The terrace roof is known also as “the garden of warriors” because of the chimneys that resembles warriors and their symbolic guardian role.
One of the chimneys is decorated with glass pieces.
Apparently, after the inauguration of the building, Gaudi himself collected the glass bottles after the celebration and decorated one of the chimneys with the broken glass pieces.
You can spend quite some time just walking around and enjoying the panoramic views of Passeig de Gracia neighborhood.
From here, you continue your visit going down, to the attic.
The Whale Attic
The attic is composed of 270 catenary arches recalling the skeleton of a whale.
Originally, the attic was a laundry area.
Today, it hosts the “Gaudi Exhibition” – a unique display devoted to Gaudi’s life and work, especially on the Casa Mila, with all the models, plans and designs, photographs and videos documenting the work on the project of La Pedrera.
The Tenants’ Apartments
On the forth floor you can see the original apartment showing the life of a bourgeois family in early 20th century.
The original ambience is recreated using furniture and household equipment of the time. Here, you can also see the decorative objects that Gaudi designed such as knobs, doors, floor surfaces and handles.
Here you can also see a video about the transformation and modernization of the city of Barcelona during the first quarter of the 20th century.
Mila Family’s Apartment – Art Exhibition
On the main floor was the residence of the Mila family.
Only few original elements of this flat are preserved. It hosts temporary exhibitions so if there is some happening at the moment of your visit, you can visit this part too.
AMENITIES

Casa Mila, Barcelona – description, price
Casa Mila is a residential building built by the architect Antonio Gaudí between 1906 and 1910 in the center of Barcelona. In the name Mila, it is correct to emphasize the last syllable. Currently, the building houses both residential apartments and office buildings. Also, part of the premises is reserved for the museum and exhibition spaces.
This house, built for the Mila family, was the last completed architectural project of Gaudí, after which he devoted himself entirely to the Sagrada Familia.
The exterior of the house is made in a marine theme. The stone facade, reminiscent of sea waves, is adorned with algae-like steel elements of a sculptural panel 84 meters long and 30 meters high. Some of them serve as balcony railings.
Immediately after construction, due to its bizarre shape, the house was nicknamed “The Quarry”. Barcelona people say: “La Pedrera” (La Pedrera).
The house of the original form, like other architectural masterpieces of Gaudí, was not only unusual, but also very functional. The house itself rests on columns and does not have load-bearing walls and partitions, because of which any apartment could be freely re-planned, creating an ideal space for each tenant. And in every room there is a window, which was a rarity for the time when some of the rooms, especially the interior ones, were made “deaf”. Under the house is equipped with underground parking. There are two elevator shafts. But they were built much later.
Casa Mila is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Roof of Mila House
What to see in Mila House
Warrior Roof
If you look closely, you will see unusual turrets on the roof with tips similar to warriors’ helmets. These are ventilation pipes and chimneys, because of the shape of which the roof got its name. The rooftop terrace and observation deck offer 360-degree panoramic views of Barcelona.
Whale Loft
Mila House Loft continues the theme of the sea. The attic is made in the form of 270 brick arches. Visitors who get here seem to find themselves inside the skeleton of a huge whale. Previously, the attic was used for drying clothes, but now there is an exhibition hall dedicated to the life and work of Antoni Gaudí. The permanent exhibition tells what and how the great Catalan architect worked on.
Tenant’s apartment
House Mila was used as an apartment building, so the apartments, except for the mezzanine where the owners lived, were rented out. On the 4th floor, you can see the recreated atmosphere of the apartments of the 1920s, original furniture and utensils from the beginning of the 20th century. Apartments in the house were far from cheap, and only wealthy Catalans could afford to rent in it. The exposition shows exactly how the bourgeois family of that time lived.
Yards-wells
Inside the house there are three courtyards (one round and two oval). The entrance lobbies and staircases are decorated with frescoes. The facade of the building and some of the interior rooms are lined in the spirit of Gaudi with a mosaic of broken ceramics, glass and marble.
The round courtyard is called the Flower Court. Its walls and adjoining staircases are decorated with floral motifs and amaze the imagination.
In the Butterfly Yard, imaginative visitors will see many insects distinguished by their bizarre and fantastic shapes and colors.
Master’s apartment Mila
In the mezzanine of the house, where the owners themselves used to live, now there is a huge exhibition hall, where temporary exhibitions are shown. Few elements of this apartment have survived to this day, as the owner has repeatedly remade it. But a few columns and an undulating ceiling of that time have been preserved. You can get here only if the current exhibition is running in the premises.
Opening hours
Casa Mila is open daily from 9:00 to 20:30 (the ticket office closes 30 minutes before closing time).
Estimated inspection time 60-90 minutes.
Ticket price
Mila House can be visited independently or as part of an excursion. For self-examination there are free audio guides, including in Russian. The audio guide is short but capacious. Without blurring into long stories, it provides a lot of interesting meaningful information, which enhances the effect of the visit.
Tickets can be bought online at lapedrera.com or directly at the box office in front of the entrance. But at the box office the ticket price is more expensive. In addition, on the site you can buy a ticket with an open date, which is convenient with a busy schedule.
The cost of an adult ticket is 24 euros.
Students and persons over 65 – 18.5 euros.
Child ticket (7-12 years old) – 12 euros, children under 7 years old – free of charge.
Prices are indicated when buying on the museum website. At the box office, each ticket is more expensive by 3 euros.
There are complex tickets: day visit + night sightseeing tour from 21:00 to 23:00. A complex ticket when purchased on the website costs 43 euros for an adult, and 21.5 euros for children (7-12 years old). When buying at the box office, you will have to pay an extra 3 euros for each ticket.
Evening tour after 21:00. The ticket price is only for an evening visit (when purchased on the website): an adult is 34 euros, a child is 17 euros.
Those who are passionate about Gaudi’s work, architecture and art will be satisfied, but many consider the ticket price too high. But it is definitely worth visiting nearby to appreciate this unusual house at least from the outside.
How to get to Casa Mila
Casa Mila is located in the center of Barcelona at the intersection of Caret de Provença and Passeig de Gracia.
Another Barcelona landmark, Casa Batlló, is a five minute walk away.

CASA MILA | O’Bon Paris | Easy to be Parisian
Casa Mila (“House of Mila” in Spanish) is one of the main masterpieces of Antonio Gaudi, a residential building built in 1906 at the request of the Mila family. Gaudí was convinced that architecture could imitate wildlife. When designing the House of Mila, Gaudí was inspired by Montserrat. Immediately after the construction, Casa Mila was criticized by the people of Barcelona and called “the quarry” (La Pedrera) for its unusual and heavy facade. At 1984 entered the UNESCO World Heritage List.
A love letter to nature,
La Pedrera
The courtyard of Casa Mila is oval and looks like a well. Its open structure allows sunlight to enter the windows of all apartments. Gaudí has always emphasized the importance of nature as an important part of life.
The roof of Casa Mila is its symbol. Ventilation shafts have a variety of shapes, symbolizing fire, air and earth. The chimneys in the form of helmeted human heads symbolize the guardians of the Casa Mila. There is a funny story behind this chimney: the Star Wars director was inspired by it when creating the image of stormtroopers, the warriors of the Galactic Empire.
The attic of Casa Mila consists of two floors. Gaudi designed two parabolic round roofs made of flat bricks, creating free space between them and allowing to maintain a stable temperature inside the premises. Now this room is used as a museum of Casa Mila and the architecture of Antonio Gaudí under the general name “Gaudi Space” .
Gaudí’s architectural philosophy captured in every detail Casa Mila
On one of the floors you can see an exhibition and get an idea of the life of the early 20th century. The elegant kitchen is decorated with contemporary furnishings from that era. The kitchen is connected to the living room through a large door. When creating interiors, Gaudí always focused on convenience, rational use of space and the lifestyle of future owners. For example, the maid’s room, the kitchen, and the nursery are located next to each other so that the maid does not have to go through the whole apartment to the child.
Doors and windows allow natural light to enter the house. Thanks to natural light, the atmosphere in the house is very warm and calm.
Mila House was a very innovative building when it was built. There are some facilities that were not common at the time, such as parking or an elevator. In addition, a boiler and bidet have been installed in the bathroom.
After the tour, you will return to the courtyard where you started. This is another emblematic place of Casa Mila with its winding walls and exceptionally colorful staircase. It is like the wings of a giant butterfly, as if it flew away in an instant. Designs, lighting and colors blend together to create a mysterious atmosphere that is similar to a natural rainforest.
To the right of the exit is La Pedrera Café where you can stop by for a coffee. Since it is located on the first floor of the same building as Casa Mila, you can see the enigmatic ceiling designed by Gaudí.
Tip O’bon Paris
The Casa Mila ticket includes an audio guide to help you understand Gaudí’s architectural philosophy.
Casa Batlló is one of the two great buildings designed by Antoni Gaudí on Passeig de Gràcia, the other being La Pedrera.
From the outside the façade of Casa Batlló looks like it has been made from skulls and bones. The “Skulls” are in fact balconies and the “bones” are supporting pillars.
Gaudí used colours and shapes found in marine life as inspiration for his creativity in this building e.g. the colours chosen for the façade are those found in natural coral.

It’s worth taking a visit to see Gaudí’s Casa Batlló at night, when it is illuminated.
The building was designed by Gaudí for Josep Batlló, a wealthy aristocrat, as an upmarket home. Señor Batlló lived in the lower two floors with his family and the upper floors were rented out as apartments.
This building is a stunningly original work and well worth the visit. If you decide to take a look around inside you will learn how much attention to detail Gaudí spent on his designs thinking about such things as varying window size depending on how high the window is from the top of the building. In this way, he could ensure uniform lighting conditions in each room of the house. The audio tour that comes with the entrance ticket gives you fascinating insights into Gaudí and his influences when designing this house.
Audio guides are available from the front desk which will give you information on each of the rooms.

Museo modernista de Antoni Gaudí – Casa Batlló
Casa Batlló (officially Museo modernista de Antoni Gaudí) iis one of the most important attractions in the modernist architectural style. Gaudi remodelled and renovated this original house (from 1875) between 1904 and 1906 for Josep Batlló i Casanovas, a rich textile magnate. At the time, Casa Batllo consisted of eight homes divided across four floors. The current estimated value of this colourful masterpiece is around 70 million euros.
Casa Batllo, a special building in Barcelona
Just like with the Casa Milà located a little further along Passeig de Gràcia, Casa Batlló has no sharp angles; everything is wavy and rounded, like the waves of the sea. The house is a unique piece of architecture in the style of Catalan modernism. The central theme in “Casa Batlló Museo modernista de Antoni Gaudí” is that of Saint George, the dragon slayer, who played an important role in the history of Barcelona. The façade of the Batlló House is covered with mosaics that are reminiscent of fish scales. The small tower on the roof with the cross could represent the sword Saint George stabs into the dragon.
Casa Amatller (left) and house of Casa Batlló (right)
Dragon scales on the roof of Gaudi’s Casa Batllo
The columns on the even floor look like dinosaur limbs. The wavy, mosaic-covered roof could be seen as the scaled spine of an enormous dragon. The balconies of Batlló are like the massive jaws of marine creatures escaping from the sea. The balconies also show skulls; these bones on the façade represent the dragon’s victims. The museum-like Casa Batllo house is therefore also nicknamed the ‘House of Bones’.
Interior by Gaudi
Not just the exterior of the building is breath-taking; the interior is as well. Antoni Gaudí avoids the use of straight lines in the interior. Here you find beautiful stained glass windows, colourful tiles, unique doorposts, and many more interesting details. If you enjoy beautiful architecture, this sight by Gaudi should definitely be part of your Barcelona city break.
During your visit you will see the different areas of the impressive building. For example, you will first get a 360º experience in the new Gaudí Cube, in which the artist Refik Anadol has delved into Gaudí’s thoughts in a modern way. You will then visit the different floors and areas of the building, including the iconic roof terrace. With a golden ticket you will also visit the Gaudí Dôme, an immersive experience to travel to the origin of Gaudí’s inspiration: nature. Experience an enlightening moment from the childhood of the genius.
How to buy Casa Batllo tickets?

Casa Batlló in Barcelona: a masterpiece by Antonio Gaudí
Every day, regardless of the season, house 43 on Paseo de Gracia is the object of interest for hundreds of tourists and the protagonist of thousands of photographs. This is Casa Batlló, a very unusual residential building in terms of architecture, designed by the famous architect Antonio Gaudí.
Anyone who has ever been to Barcelona has not only heard about Gaudí, but also “seen”. Moreover, a lot, because the work of the architect forms the image of the city, act as the face of the Catalan capital. Casa Batllo (aka Casa Batllo and House of Bones) is one of the conserving parts of Barcelona’s Dissenting Quarter (the other two are projects by Amalle and Leo Morera) due to the stylistic contrast of the houses.
Quarter of Controversy
History of the House of Bones
In 1877, , an apartment building was completed for the professor of architecture, Emilio Sala Cortés, which was later reconstructed into Casa Batlló.
In 1903, the building became the property of the textile manufacturer Josep Batllo y Casanovas, who decided to modernize it and turned to Antonio Gaudí with a business proposal. Josep planned a radical alteration – the elimination of the building and the construction of a new one, but Gaudí had a different point of view.
Architect did not abandon the original structure. He developed a project for two new facades, changed the layout of the lower floor and the mezzanine, decorating the space with original furniture, decided to equip the house with an attic, an asotea and a basement floor.
Reconstruction lasted from 1905 to 1906 .
Gaudí managed to unite of the best masters of applied art. Forged products were invented and implemented by the Badia brothers, and the glass blower Josep Pelegri worked on the stained glass windows. The tiles were created by father and son Pujol-i-Bausis, and Sebastian-i-Ribot was engaged in the supply of ceramics.
Since the middle of the 20th century Casa Batlló is not a family property. In the 1990s, the Bernat family bought the house. Since then, they have been responsible for the preservation of the building, without state support, through the sale of tickets.
In order to avoid long queues at the entrance to the house, we advise you to buy tickets online here .
Interior
The total area of Casa Batlló after reconstruction is 4300 m2, height – 32 m. Before the intervention of Antoni Gaudí, the values were less – 3100 m2 and 21 m, respectively. Gaudi made a redevelopment of the interior, expanded the patio. The interior of the house turned into a treasure of the Catalan capital. All this is spectacular, also functional, which has become the starting point of a new trend in architecture and engineering.
The source of his inspiration was nature and its harmony. Going inside, we understand how deftly Gaudí adapted the science of nature to engineering tasks:
furniture ergonomics
load-bearing structures
ventilation
light
“Business card” Casa Batlló – mezzanine floor with stained glass windows. Here you will remember the sea, because the visit is filled with maritime associations – the spiral shape of the ceiling, reminiscent of the movement of water, “bubble” windows, a light palette, scattering sun rays. Attention is attracted by an unusual fireplace in the form of a mushroom.
The wide staircase leading to the second floor seems to appear out of thin air. It is made of oak, devoid of straight lines, and the ergonomics of the railing is made to fit the shape of a human hand.
Workspace of the former owner Josep Batllo attracts attention from the entrance – the doors are equipped with a ventilation system, similar to gills.
The courtyard of Casa Batlló is characterized by unusual decoration. Gaudí approached the work with chiaroscuro in an original way, using ceramic tiles of different colors to obtain uniform lighting – with a transition from white to blue. The “well” is an important engineering solution – light penetrates the large windows of the rooms, and at the same time it is a ventilation shaft.
Parabolic arches were used for the first time in the construction of attic . In the future, the architect used them in other works.
On the roof of the silhouette of a dragon’s back appears. Tiles, laid out in the form of scales, shimmer in the sun. The cruciform turret symbolizes the spear piercing the dragon. The images of skulls and bones in the design of the facade speak of victims, and the fact that the monster fought with a pike tells of the complete victory of good over evil.
Attic . The prototype of the arches that visually enlarge the space are the ribs of the whale. Here, on the balcony, tourists are invited to take a professional photo, and then purchase its printed version as a souvenir.
Attic
Authentic elevator Casa Batlló with wooden interior trim, with antique worn buttons – a very atmospheric immersion in the past, the perfect end to the tour and a win-win final photo zone.
Terrace of the Dragon in Casa Batlló
The terrace is the center of Gaudí’s universe and the space facing the sky of Barcelona. The roofs of the buildings were for Gaudí like people’s hats, each of which reflects the individuality of its “owner”.
The shape of the roof of Casa Batlló resembles the spine of a dragon. The turret on the roof of the house, crowned with the St. George’s Cross, personifies the spear with which St. George defeated the dragon. The ends of the cross of the turret represent the saints.
Chimneys are grouped in such a way that they become a decoration of the house, being an artistic object with the main function of emitting smoke. The “well” of the building and technical elements act as a drain and ventilation.
There is a small room on the terrace, where now there is a small fountain, hinting at the play of nature and the physics of natural processes. Previously, the building was used to store water.

10 facts about Casa Batlló
1A house without rules
Most experts on the architect’s biography are sure that Casa Batlló in Barcelona became one of Gaudí’s key projects. From this work, the genius focused only on his plastic vision of architecture, leaving the rules aside. The success of the House finally convinced the master of the correctness of this approach.
2What do Casa Batlló and the skeleton of a dragon have in common
House Without Rules
In Barcelona, Casa Batlló was nicknamed “the house of bones” because of its resemblance to the figure of a giant dragon – an image to which Gaudí repeatedly referred. The exterior resembles a skeleton, the balconies look like skulls, and the columns look like bones.
3Gaudi and Monet
The facade of a house is often compared to water into which a stone has been thrown (a reference to Monet’s Pond with Water Lilies). The ceramic circles and colorful shards shimmer in different colors in the sunlight. Gaudi personally controlled the color scheme. There are no corners, edges and straight lines here, the curved walls for many obviously paint a picture, as if a mystical sea monster is playing with muscles under the skin lining.
4Gaudi tile mosaic
Trencadis is a technique used by Gaudí to create tiled mosaics. The color of the mosaic changes from earth to heaven.
5 House without straight lines
Roof
With the exception of the side walls, Casa Batlló has almost no straight lines. In the future, the principle of constructing curved walls and roofs was applied in the construction of Casa Mila. Wavy outlines are inherent not only in the decorative elements of the facade of Casa Batlló (carved from stone from the hill of Montjuic), but also in the interior.
6Gaudi’s communication with God
Gaudi was known as a very religious person, he regularly addressed the topic of higher powers. It is also the main one in the case of Casa Batlló. In his flights on the territory of Barcelona, an element in the form of a cross with five points is often found. While walking around Casa Batlló, one can understand the meaning of Gaudí’s words that in order to comprehend the laws of nature, one must ask God for help. Of course, the genius managed to establish communication with higher powers.
7Recycled waste
Balconies
The metal railings on the balcony are made from discarded materials that are “unsuitable” for other objects in the city.
8Gaudí furniture
The architect has created a separate collection of landmark furniture, which can be found in Gaudí’s house museum in Parc Güell.
9Charming House of Bones
Every April 23, the facade of Casa Batlló is decorated with roses, thus marking the day of Sant Jordi – the equivalent of St. Valentine’s Day in Catalonia.

Antoni Gaudí: a great architect in a nutshell
Antoni Gaudí is a genius of modernism and architecture. It was his original style that became the reason for the popularity of the architect and the recognition of his masterpieces all over the world.
The need for originality was driven by the needs of the upper class locals, so dozens of new modernist buildings were built in Barcelona. The upper class left the family estates and moved to the center of Barcelona – to unique houses, the appearance of which testified to the money, caste and even the character of the people living in it. Moreover, the desire for individualism was encouraged by the city authorities, who awarded architects with annual awards for the best building in Barcelona. Gaudi went far beyond the usual rules of modernism, which made him the most ambitious and innovative architect.
What was the place of Casa Batlló in Gaudí’s life?
The construction of Casa Batlló marked a new milestone in the work of Antonio Gaudi: he completely departed from the styles known at that time and began to follow exclusively his own architectural solutions. For the construction of the building, he attracted many workers who often did not understand the idea of Gaudi and he had to explain the idea of \u200b\u200beach element “on the fingers”.
Gaudí devoted himself to architecture and never married. It is known that he had feelings and showed interest in only one woman – Joseph Moreau, who works as a teacher in a workers’ cooperative in Mataro, but she did not reciprocate. Salvation Antonio Gaudi found in Catholicism.
What was said about Gaudí
In December 1933, Dali prepared an enthusiastic essay on Gaudí’s architecture for the Minotaur magazine. He called it the most original phenomenon in the history of art.
At the final exam, the principal of the school said: “Gentlemen, we are either a genius or a madman!” To which Gaudi sarcastically remarked: “It seems that now I am an architect.”
For about ten years now there has been a campaign in support of Gaudí’s canonization. It was expected that in 2015 the Pope would sign the instrument of beatification. This would be the third of four stages of canonization. Antonio Gaudí wants to be the patron saint of all architects.

Casa Batlló in Barcelona (or Batlo House) takes pride of place among the unique creations of the Catalan architect Antonio Gaudí. This is one of the late projects of the architect, he worked on it at the age of 52.
Many experts note that the construction of Casa Batllo in Barcelona marked a new stage in the work of Antonio Gaudí , when he completely departed from the styles known at that time and began to follow exclusively his architectural ideas. Casa Batlló is one of the main attractions in Barcelona . In 1969, the Casa Batllo in Barcelona was recognized as a Spanish monument of national importance, and in 2005 the building was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in the “Creations of Antoni Gaudí” section.
Casa Batlló was not built from scratch by Gaudí. The architect reconstructed an existing residential building commissioned by the textile magnate Josep Batllo y Casanovas, who originally planned the construction of a new building. However, Gaudí decided to keep the main structure of the house, he created two new facades, redesigned the ground floor, built a single courtyard, which improved daylight and ventilation of the house, and also added a stepped roof terrace.
The exterior and interior of the Casa Batlló fully correspond to the architectural style of Gaudi, there are practically no straight lines, wavy outlines appear in all the details of the building. To create the facade, hewn stone was used, mined on the Montjuic mountain in Barcelona. Blue ceramic tiles in a variety of shades were used to decorate the courtyard, with the help of which the architect created a special play of color and shade. The design of the windows of the building is designed in such a way as to achieve the greatest illumination and effective natural ventilation of the building.
The rooftop terrace, according to Antoni Gaudí’s design, was to be not only functional (the chimneys of 27 fireplaces located in Casa Batlló were brought here), but also had an aesthetic component. The roofs of the buildings were for Gaudí like people’s hats, each of which reflects the individuality of its “owner”. As with the construction of the palace in Parc Güell and Casa Mila in Barcelona, Gaudí approached the planning of the terrace on the roof of Casa Batlló with great care. Mosaics were used to decorate it.
It is believed that the external appearance of Casa Batlló resembles the figure of a giant dragon, in the back of which the spear of St. George is stuck. Catalans, like Muscovites, consider St. George to be their patron. The role of the spear is played by a turret on the roof of the house, crowned with the St. George Cross. The facade of the building gives the impression of the scaly skin of a dragon, and the outlines of the bones of the monster’s victims are guessed in the columns and balconies. Popularly, Casa Batlló is often called the House of Bones.
In 1993, Casa Batlló was acquired by the Bernat family, the owner of the Chupa-Chups company. After the restoration, the house was opened to the general public. Currently, this is one of those attractions in Barcelona that must be visited during the tourist visit to the capital of Catalonia .

Un lugar ideal para pasear y descansar
oct. de 2020 • Parejas
Las dimensiones del Parc de la Ciutadella son ideales para pasear, una mañana o una tarde.
Tienes largos paseos, zonas abundantes de cesped, donde veras mucha gente tomando el sol y, es inevitable, vendedores callejeros
Pero tambien tienes fuentes, una veintena o mas de estatuas en memoria de literatos y poetas.
Tambien tienes la gran cascada, el lago para remar y un par de museos, para alimentar la mente.
Con que nada es perfecto, hay que denunciar la falta de mantenimiento de la zona del Invernadero y l Umbracle

Inversión por parte del Ayuntamiento y Generalitat en los edificios del parque
dic. de 2019
No entiendo como puede estar tan bien puntuado este parque. SI de algo carece esta ciudad es de espacios verdes amplios y lo que podría ser una excepción , el ayuntamiento ha dejando que varios de sus edificios más emblemáticos situados dentro del mismo y sobre todo la serie de construcciones modernistas situadas en la banda del passeig Picasso tales como el botánico, estén que den pena por no decir otra cosa. Que pena que se estén gastando tanto dinero en pinturas amarillas y bloques de hormigón horribles y no puedan invertir en algo tan histórico que forma parte del patrimonio español.

Parque de la Ciutadella | Web de Barcelona
Está considerado un museo al aire libre por la profusión y la calidad de sus esculturas. Hay obras de Frederic Marès (estatua ecuestre del general Prim), Eusebi Arnau (busto de mármol de Marià Aguiló), Josep Clarà (desnudo de bronce dedicado a los voluntarios catalanes de 1914), Josep Llimona (desnudo femenino de mármol El desconsol), Pau Gargallo (busto de mármol de Lleó Fontoba), Manuel Fuxà (bustos de mármol de Milà i Fontanals, Víctor Balaguer y Joaquim Vayreda y figura de bronce de Bonaventura Carles Aribau) y Eduard B. Alentorn (grupo de mármol La cigonya i la guineu), entre otros escultores.
Por su popularidad, hay que hacer mención de dos esculturas: La dama del paraigua, de Joan Roig Soler, que durante muchos años fue uno de los símbolos de Barcelona y que corona una fuente ornamental que diseñó Josep Fontserè, y un mamut de piedra, primera y única de las reproducciones a tamaño natural de animales extinguidos que, en 1907, la Junta de Ciencias Naturales quería instalar en el parque.
La cascada monumental
Fue diseñada por Josep Fontserè en 1875 e inaugurada en 1881. Fontserè tuvo como ayudante a Antoni Gaudí, entonces muy joven, y a quien se atribuyen las rocallas de la cascada y algunos motivos decorativos.
La cascada está ornamentada por muchos elementos escultóricos de artistas catalanes de finales del siglo XIX, colocados después de su inauguración. El elemento central es el Naixement de Venus, de Venanci Vallmitjana, y arriba del todo, culminando el conjunto, La quadriga de l’Aurora, de Rossend Nobas, autor también de cuatro grupos de genios, dos faunos y de la figura de Eros. Abajo, cuatro grifos modelados por Rafael Atché protegen la venus. A ambos lados hay escaleras para acceder a una especie de templete desde el cual se puede contemplar una perspectiva privilegiada del parque.
Los edificios
De la antigua ciudadela militar construida en 1715 quedan la capilla castrense, obra de Pròsper Verboom (1728), el palacio del gobernador —sede el Instituto Escuela durante la Segunda República y hoy uno de los centros de educación secundaria de la ciudad— y el edificio del arsenal, actualmente sede del Parlamento de Cataluña.
El resto de los edificios que hay en el parque se construyeron en el último tercio del siglo XIX. El primero fue el Museo Martorell de Geología, de estilo neoclásico, proyectado en 1879 por Antoni Rovira i Trias, y que se integró en el diseño del parque que llevó a cabo Josep Fontserè en 1872.
En cuanto a las construcciones realizadas con motivo de la Exposición Universal de 1888, se conserva el restaurante, un edificio de ladrillo visto, coronado de almenas, obra de Domènech i Muntaner, y que pertenece a la primera época del modernismo barcelonés. Se llamó popularmente el Castillo de los Tres Dragones y, desde el año 1934, es la sede del Museo de Zoología de Barcelona.
También fueron proyectados para la Exposición Universal de 1888 el umbráculo, un recinto singular diseñado por Josep Fontserè (1883), que integra el ladrillo, el hierro y un enlistonado de madera que procura sombra a especies subtropicales, y el invernadero, una construcción de hierro y cristal diseñada por Josep Amargós i Samaranch en 1884.

A very beautiful park in the center of Barcelona.

The park is very beautiful, it is located in the center of the city. The entrance to the park is located near the Arc de Triomphe. The park is quite large. I especially liked the fountain with a sculpture in the form of an arch. From the rays of the sun, the water becomes an incredibly beautiful color, and the sculptures are cast in gold. I highly recommend visiting.

I didn’t really like the park. We were there in the evening, it is not really illuminated. In addition to the castle of three dragons, one fountain and an elephant statue, there is nothing to see. Go during the day or don’t go at all. Many people sit in the park and drink and smoke. So so visit. I did not like.

We came across the park on the way from the railway station. And they didn’t come in vain. The park is very green, there are many shady places where you can hide from the sun. Green parrots fly all over the park, fed them along with the pigeons. In the center of the park there is a beautiful fountain “Great Cascade”. On the territory of the Ciutadella Park there are several museums, the Barcelona Zoo, an artificial lake, as well as the building of the Parliament of Catalonia.

The park is close to the Gothic Quarter, the railway station and the beach line, so sooner or later you will get in your way. I liked the pond, the landscape design is beautifully designed, ducks swim, we even noticed a sea turtle, a beautiful fountain. Of the minuses – few benches, the fountain did not work, a lot of people walking with dogs, I’m not sure if there is a WC. It doesn’t take much time to inspect it, unless you do as we did and take a bench in the shade, allowing your legs to rest from long walks. I will not say that it is mandatory to visit, but if you get caught along the way, you can go.

There was no purposeful task to visit this park, we were just walking around the city and decided to look in and sit in the shade. Mostly an ordinary park with some architecture – a fountain, sculptures, etc.
If you are near this park or if you have a couple of hours to spare, then it is worth taking a walk there. Otherwise there are more interesting places in Barcelona.

Ciutadella Park
For many years, the Ciutadella Park was the only urban park in Barcelona.
It is located on the site of an ancient fortress built by Philip V to maintain control over the city after the War of Spanish Succession in the 18th century. During the revolution of 1868 the fortress was demolished.
In 1884, before the World Exhibition, the mayor of the city, Francesc Rius y Taulet, commissioned the architect Josep Fontsere to improve the site where the citadel used to be. It was during that period that Barcelona began to actively open up to the world community.
Now this park is one of the largest in the city.
On the territory of this park are the Barcelona Zoo, buildings that survived from the old fortress (the chapel, the governor’s palace and the arsenal building), and pavilions left over from the 1888 World Exhibition (greenhouses, greenhouse, geological and zoological museums). In addition, our eyes open up to spacious green areas equipped for walking, a lake with a waterfall, a romantic garden, an oval pond and various sculptures that have become a worthy decoration of the entire park.
The seat of the Parliament of Catalonia is also located here.
Address: The park is bordered by the streets Pujades, Passeig Picasso, and Wellington.
Metro: Arc de Triomf (L1), Ciutadella – Vila Olímpica (L4)
Padre Costa y Llobera Gardens
The gardens of Mossen Costa y Llobera were created in the early 1960s on a vacant lot where air defense batteries used to be stationed.
The park, which specializes in cacti and tropical plants, spreads over an area of 6.15 hectares. The cultivation of these plants became possible due to the special microclimate formed to the southeast of Montjuic, where the temperature is 2 degrees higher than in the city. This location also protects the gardens from the winds.
Address: Between Miramar Road and Pg. Josep Carner
Buses: 38, 50
Parque de Cervantes / La Rosaleda
At the entrance to Barcelona we are greeted by this splendid nine-hectare park containing an extensive collection of rose bushes of various shapes and colors, originating from all parts of the world.
Since 2001, the park has been hosting an international rose competition dedicated to new varieties of these amazing flowers.
There are currently 2,000 varieties of roses and about 10,000 rose bushes in the park.
Address: Av. Diagonal, 706
Buses: 22, 63, 67, 68, 78
Metro: Zona Universitaria (L3)
Mediodia Park / Botanical Garden
In the Botanical Garden, which specializes in Mediterranean vegetation, you can also see flora from the Pacific Ocean and other lands that adapt perfectly to our climate. All plants in the park are presented geographically (depending on the place of origin).
Address: north side of Montjuïc mountain, between the Stadium and the Castle.
Buses: 9, 13, 38, 72, 109
Joan Miro Park
Joan Miro Park was opened in 1983 on the site of a former municipal slaughterhouse, also known as the Parc de l’Escorchador.
The space of the park corresponds to four blocks of the Eixample district. The park has a special paved area, which was conceived for a variety of events, as well as a pond, various playgrounds and a local public library. Mediterranean vegetation dominates here, dominated by pines and holm oaks. On the street of Tarragona, you can see the sculpture of Joan Miro “Woman and Bird” 22 meters high, inlaid with multi-colored smalts.
Address: between the streets Vilamari, Aragó, Tarragona, and Diputación.
Buses: 27, 30, 43, 44, 109
Metro: Espanya (L1 and L3) or Tarragona (L3)
Touro Park
At the beginning of the 20th century, in 1912, a small amusement park was opened in the gardens of the Bertrand-Girona family.

Understand there’s nothing agreed or signed between Roberto Firmino and Barcelona at this stage. 🇧🇷 #FCB
It’s not even advanced deal — just name discussed internally. Barça priorities are Iñigo, Gündogan, of course Messi.
Firmino, still exploring options — no decision made yet. https://t.co/Ekv328XDWu

For teenagers and women, some manufacturers offer balls in sizes 4 and 5, which have the same circumference, but 40-50g less weight.
What materials are soccer balls made of?
Unlike in the past, when soccer balls were made primarily from leather, balls are now made from polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Genuine leather balls heat up quickly, the weight of the soccer ball increases, the rebound trajectory decreases and it becomes difficult to perform technical elements.
Meanwhile, polyurethane (synthetic material) is a durable and elastic material. The thicker its layer, the better the impact and control, the longer the ball will last. The surface of the ball made of polyurethane can be matt or glossy. The glossy surface is more resistant to water and improves aerodynamic properties.

Beach soccer balls are made from lightweight and soft materials to make it easier to play barefoot. These soccer balls are usually resistant to water.

Recreational balls designed for these conditions are usually made of durable rubber and filler designed to bounce 80-125 cm. , offer original soccer balls .
