Symbolism at La Pedrera: Modernisme and Nature

Motifs at La Pedrera reference nature: waves, kelp, shells, and flora. Spiritual themes are subtle, fitting an urban dwelling yet aligning with Gaudí’s cosmology.

Where to Look

• Balconies: iron seaweed and anchors.
• Ceilings: floral paintings and stucco.
• Rooftop: guardians suggest watchfulness and protection.

Modernisme strives for a total work of art: architecture + decorative arts.
